Description

Meet the next generation of our bestselling Breeze Short. We took everything you love about the original version — the light and airy fabric, comfy knit waistband, and incredibly soft liner — and tweaked it with a few performance-minded upgrades.

For the new Bamboo-Lined Active Breeze Short, we moved the secure zip pocket from the back to the side, so you get less bounce and more comfort when you’re doing crunches or yoga on your back. The 5” inseam gives you more coverage without restricting your movement.

Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question
Does the Breeze Short 5" have a built-in liner?

Yes — a buttery-soft, anti-odor liner made with viscose from bamboo sits under the 5" shell, so you stay comfortable and fresh.

How do the Breeze bottoms fit?

They feature a comfortable knit waistband with an adjustable drawstring so you can fine-tune the fit. The shorts and skort sit high-rise, and the 4-way stretch fabric moves with you.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) measures how well a fabric blocks UV light. This fabric is rated UPF 50+, the highest rating commonly given to apparel. Unlike sunscreen, the protection is built into the fabric, so it won't wash off or need reapplying—just remember it only covers the skin underneath.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, then hang to dry. Skip bleach and fabric softener—they can interfere with wicking and anti-odor finishes. Always check the sewn-in care label for the final word.
