Howler Brothers Surf

Frequently Asked Questions

• What features make Howler Brothers boardshorts like the Horizon Hybrid Shorts a good choice for both surfing and everyday wear?

  Howler Brothers boardshorts use quick-drying, often recycled fabrics with 4-way stretch and welded seams to minimize chafe, so they move well in the water and dry fast on land. Thoughtful details—mesh-drained pockets, microfiber-lined sunglass-cleaning pockets, and ripstop options—give durability and everyday utility, while the timeless prints transition easily from beach to bar.
• How should I choose the right size and fit for Howler Brothers Surf + Swim boardshorts?

  Howler Brothers tends toward a modern, knee-length fit (many Horizon Hybrid styles use an ~8.5" inseam) and offers sizes up to larger waists, so start with your waist measurement and the specific product size chart. For surfing, aim for a snug but mobile fit that won’t ride up; for casual wear, a slightly roomier fit gives more comfort and airflow.
• How do the Horizon Hybrid Shorts compare to other Howler Brothers boardshort models?

  Horizon Hybrid Shorts emphasize a true hybrid build—quick-drying recycled fabrics, an ~8.5" inseam, and versatile details like mesh drainage—so they’re designed for seamless land-to-water use. Other Howler models may prioritize longer inseams, heavier ripstop for abrasion resistance, or limited-run artist collaborations, so pick a model based on desired inseam, stretch level, and special features.
• Are Howler Brothers swim fabrics both sustainable and durable?

  Many Surf + Swim pieces use recycled fabrics and ripstop nylons that reduce environmental impact while resisting stains and abrasion, and the quick-dry constructions help fabrics shed water and dry faster than typical boardshorts. Construction details like welded seams and reinforced pockets extend longevity without adding bulk.
• Which boardshort features should I prioritize for surfing versus fishing or paddling?

  For surfing prioritize 4-way stretch, anti-chafe seams or welded construction, a secure waistband, and mesh drainage to shed water quickly during maneuvers. For fishing or paddling favor ripstop for abrasion resistance, microfiber-lined pockets for sunglasses, longer inseams or sun-protective coverage, and ample pocket options for stashing small gear.
