This one suits the angler who wants a technical short for long, hot days and doesn’t want to baby their gear. Free Fly calls the Latitude Short their most technical adventure short. It’s a featherweight, quick-drying build with a DWR finish for light water and spray, plus durability aimed at hard use.
The partial elastic waistband is there for movement when you’re bending, wading, or climbing around slick banks and rocks. Styling stays in the chino lane, so it doesn’t look like dedicated fishing gear when you’re done. If you want heavy fabric or a purely casual short, this isn’t that.
