Sandy Shores Boardshort - Girls'

Omni-Wick technology is a special fabric developed by Columbia Sportswear that effectively wicks moisture away from your skin. This means that when you sweat, the fabric pulls the moisture away and allows it to evaporate quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable. This is especially beneficial during hot weather or intense physical activities, making it ideal for beach outings, hiking, or any outdoor sports.

The UPF rating measures how much UV radiation can penetrate the fabric. A UPF rating of 50+ means that the shorts block at least 98% of harmful UV rays. This is crucial for outdoor activities like swimming or paddling, where you are exposed to the sun for long periods. Wearing board shorts with a high UPF rating helps protect your skin from sunburn and long-term damage.

A drawstring is essential for adjusting the fit of your board shorts. It allows you to tighten or loosen the waistband, ensuring that the shorts stay securely in place while you are active, whether you're swimming, surfing, or playing beach volleyball. This added security means you can focus on your activities without worrying about your shorts slipping or shifting.

The inseam measurement indicates the length of the inner leg of the shorts, from the crotch to the bottom hem. A 3-inch inseam means the shorts are relatively short, which is typical for board shorts designed for water activities. This shorter length allows for greater freedom of movement, making it easier to swim, surf, or engage in other water sports without feeling restricted.

"Mid-thigh" length refers to shorts that reach the middle of your thigh. This style is popular for beachwear and water sports because it strikes a balance between coverage and mobility. Mid-thigh shorts provide enough coverage to feel comfortable while allowing for easy movement, making them perfect for swimming, paddling, or any active beach day.

Yes! Board shorts featuring Omni-Wick technology, a high UPF rating, a secure drawstring, and a mid-thigh length with a short inseam are designed specifically for water activities. They provide comfort, protection from the sun, and freedom of movement, making them ideal for swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, and other beach-related activities.
