We launched the Warren trek short last summer after a discussion with our good friend Brandon, where he mentioned that the only shorts he wanted to wear were short and WIDE (like those guys in Ventura used to make). Last summer's iteration were cut from a hyper lightweight nylon that made them an incredible trail running short. That said, we always wanted to be able to swim in them too, and the lighter unlined nylon made them a bit too revealing to do that comfortably. We were discussing different ways to sort this in the studio when our other friend Rob recommended we take the mesh lining fabric usually reserved for making the built-in brains of a swim trunk and use it to fully line the style. Now the Warren works as well under water as it does on dry land. Other details and improvements include zip closure pockets at the hips for increased security of your valuables and a built-in web belt with matte black metal magnetic Fidlock buckle closure. Cut with a trail running-friendly inseam and hem width for ease of movement, the Warren is a hyper-functional pair of shorts you will be reaching for all summer long. Proudly made in India from a water-repellent 60 cotton / 40 nylon plain weave mountain cloth. These run true to size. Victor is 6’0”, 31 waist with a 32 inseam and wears Medium.
