wardrobe essential

When your travels are likely to include activities like kayaking, hiking, wildlife-watching, or snorkeling, these quick-dry nylon water shorts are the perfect thing to pack. Cut like casual walking shorts rather than swim trunks, they're appropriate for the full day's activities, from dealing with an unexpected rainstorm or stream crossing to just staying cool while sightseeing on a humid day. Full-elastic waist and adjustable elasticized web belt, full mesh briefs, side zipper-secured cargo pockets, and mesh-lined cargo pocket.
