Multi-day river trips, evening SUP sessions or rest-day cliff jumping—the CFS Board Short is a stretchy, all-purpose mountain water short, perfect for summer hikes and shoulder-season surf trips. Built with recycled reSphero™ HO stretch poplin, a water-resistant, quick-drying fabric with four-way stretch and UPF 50+ sun protection, the CFS provides the mobility you need for any aquatic adventures. A hook-and-loop waist closure with an adjustable drawstring helps secure the perfect fit, while flattering styling and 4” inseam make 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.
As caretakers of the mountain life, we recognize our responsibility to support organizations and people who share our vision to drive positive change for people and the planet. We’re proud to partner with some tremendous organizations in their missions to responsibly advance outdoor recreation and protect our wild surroundings.
We are committed to building garments that are durable, timeless and continue to perform season after season. Over 50% of our product line incorporates preferred materials, which include organic cotton, recycled materials and responsibly-sourced down. We are committed to growing our preferred materials usage to 75% by 2025 and to completely eliminating PFAS from our garments by 2025.
Our apparel is built to last. As a part of our efforts to reduce waste and keep more gear in the mountains where it belongs, our home-grown gear renewal program allows previously-used items to be traded in, cleaned, repaired and circulated back into use.
