For swim, float or paddle days, the CFS Drifter Short is the comfortable, quick-drying essential for playing in and around the water. The water-repellent finish speeds up drying time and its lightweight, 88% recycled reSphero™ fabric is smooth yet durable enough to hold up to sporty on-water ventures. UPF 50+ sun protection and four-way stretch provide sunup-to-sundown coverage and comfort. With a smooth, soft-on-skin waistband and interior infinity drawcord add comfort and easy fit adjustments. A shorter inseam allows for unrestricted range of motion.
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 PFAS-free WR coating to repel light moisture and promote quick drying.

Chef, fly angler and Stio Ambassador Ranga Perera takes us to a few of his favorite moments while filming Flavor On The Fly, from frying up fresh perch on the shores of Lake Champlain, to being guided for the first time by a fellow Person Of Color while fishing in Central Park.
