We stock 21 waist sizes, from a 26 for a teenager to a 60 for a big-and-tall customer, all in the same 21\" outseam. That's a mid-thigh length — long enough to sit under a rash guard, short enough that it doesn't grab your knees when you pop up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutseam\u003c\/strong\u003e — 21\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Charcoal camo, Jungle camo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 90% polyester \/ 10% spandex, 8 Way Octo-Super Stretch spandex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist closure\u003c\/strong\u003e — tie front with four HIC grommets, hook \u0026amp; loop fastener at front waist, Lycra fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePocket\u003c\/strong\u003e — side flap pocket with hook \u0026amp; loop fastener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3-needle smooth inseams, multiple embroideries, mirrored logo patch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — HIC (Hawaiian Islands Creation), imported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are cut to sit low — below the belly button — so measure your hip bone as well as your natural waist before you pick a size. If you measure your waist up where a dress belt goes, you'll size up too far. Be aware that some sizes in this 8 Way Octo-Super Stretch style run a bit larger than HIC's peached micro-suede polyester boardshort, so if you already own a pair of those, don't assume the number carries over. With 10% spandex there's real give in the waistband and through the seat, which is why the between-sizes call usually goes to the smaller number. Not sure? Call us at (866) 628-4626 and we'll talk you through it before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaddling out, beach volleyball, skate sessions, and long days where you go from the water to a food truck without changing. The stretch means you can sit on a board or a curb without the waistband digging in, and the flap pocket closes with hook \u0026amp; loop so a key stays put in the shorebreak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash cool, tumble dry low or line dry, no bleach.
