Guide Short - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“These shorts are my go-to for hot-weather fishing because they dry insanely fast and never cling. The stretch feels great when I’m climbing in and out of the boat, and the pockets are super functional—especially the thigh pocket and the mesh drainage. They’re light, tough, and perfect for wet-wading days.”

We pull on the Guide Shorts when summer heat and long days on the water call for comfort that works as hard as we do. The lightweight nylon-spandex blend sheds water quickly, dries fast, and stretches naturally as we scramble along the bank, climb into the drift boat, or wade into deeper current. A fixed waistband with reinforced belt loops adds durability, while the interior drawcord keeps everything locked in when conditions shift from dry deck to waist-deep water.

Mesh-lined pockets drain instantly, keeping the shorts light whether we're wet-wading or caught in a splash. A zippered back pocket secures small essentials, and the laser-cut thigh pocket gives easy access without adding bulk. With a gusseted crotch, articulated knees, and a dialed 10-inch inseam, the Guide Shorts deliver mobility and comfort from trail to tide.
