CFS Drifter 5in Lined Short - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use these when I want one pair of shorts that can handle everything—paddling, swimming, and then grabbing a bite in town. The liner dries fast and doesn’t feel clammy, the stretch is legit, and the zip pocket keeps keys secure on the water."

When warm, sunny days call us toward the water, the Stio CFS Drifter 5in Lined Short becomes the piece we reach for first. The product name steps into the story right away, grounding the experience in a short built to handle paddleboarding sessions, river floats, and the miles between put-in and takeout. The reSphero HO stretch poplin fabric dries quickly and moves easily, giving us confidence to switch from water to trail without hesitation.

As our day unfolds, the thoughtful features shine. The boxer-brief liner adds soft support, drains quickly, and keeps odor in check, while mesh-lined pockets release water so we’re not carrying extra weight. An elastic waistband with a drawcord keeps the fit dialed during movement, and the UPF 50+ rating offers built-in protection under bright skies. With a water-repellent finish and just the right amount of stretch, the CFS Drifter Lined Short keeps pace from splashy mornings to relaxed afternoons outdoors.
