A beloved favorite with proven performance, the CFS Board Short is built for more than just basking in the sun. With rocks for docks and multi-mile hikes to the headwaters, watersports in the mountains demand much more than a day at the beach. Newly updated to 88% recycled reSphero™ HO stretch poplin, this is a durable poly/spandex blend with a DWR finish that's abrasion-resistant, sheds water and provides the mobility you need on the climbing wall, the SUP and the jumping rock. Available in an 18.5" or 21.5" outseam for increased range of motion or additional coverage.
reSphero™ HO is a four-way stretch plainweave poplin made with a blend of recycled polyester and spandex for maximum comfort. Constructed with extremely durable fibers, this sturdy fabric maintains its shape through the push and pull of strenuous activity, while the hydrophobic nature of the fibers allow it to dry quickly. Finished with a DWR coating to repel light moisture and promote quick drying.
We completely offset the footprint of each order through our commitment to being climate neutral. As part of our mission we value being good caretakers of the mountain life and protecting the places where we play.
We are committed to building garments that are durable, timeless and continue to perform season after season. Over 50% of our product line incorporates preferred materials, which include organic cotton, recycled materials and responsibly-sourced down. We are committed to growing our preferred materials usage to 75% by 2025.
We believe a circular commerce system will design out waste and pollution, allowing for used clothing to be renewed and put back into use. Stio Second Turn™️ is our gear renewal program that allows customers to trade in and shop used apparel.
