Birdwell 300 Boardshorts in Aloha Camo/Gold

Most boardshorts use a single layer of lightweight fabric that wears through in a season or two, then end up in a landfill. The 300 doubles up the material and reinforces every seam because Birdwell guarantees these for life—a promise that only makes business sense if the shorts actually last. The wax pocket and button fly come from sixty years of making trunks for serious surfers, not weekend beachgoers. You pay more up front, but if you replace cheap trunks every couple of summers, the math tips in favor of one pair that outlasts them all.

Good gift when

  • Surfers who go through cheap trunks every season
  • People who want swim gear that doubles as everyday shorts
  • Anyone tired of elastic waistbands and velcro closures
  • Buyers who value repairable gear over disposable fashion

Skip it if The double-layer fabric adds weight and structure, so if you want lightweight, flexible swim trunks that feel like nothing, single-layer styles will suit you better.

Also in 3 other colours: Tiger Camo, Navy, Aloha Camo/Gold, Army Green

The details

The 300 sits at a medium length that splits the difference between vintage short cuts and knee-length styles. Two full layers of water-repellent nylon run from waist to hem, both inside and out, creating swim trunks that resist tearing, hold their shape after years of saltwater exposure, and dry faster than single-layer alternatives.

Every seam receives double or triple-needle stitching, concentrating reinforcement where movement and strain hit hardest. A wax pocket sits on the thigh for stashing a bar of surf wax or a few essentials. The button fly uses nickel-plated grommets that won't corrode in wet conditions. No velcro, no drawcord, no elastic waistband—just a clean closure that stays put.

The camo print pairs earth tones with gold accents across the repeating pattern. The fabric resists fading and holds color through repeated washing and sun exposure. After swimming or surfing, the material sheds water quickly and hangs dry within hours.

Birdwell manufactures these in the United States and covers them with a lifetime guarantee. If a seam opens or the fabric fails, the company repairs or replaces the shorts. This warranty extends to structural failures, not gradual wear from decades of use, but it reflects confidence in construction that most swimwear brands avoid promising.

The fit runs true to standard waist sizing. The medium length falls a few inches above the knee on most wearers, offering coverage without bulk at the leg opening. The double-layer design adds structure, so these don't cling or billow like lighter trunks. They work for swimming, surfing, beach volleyball, or wearing straight through the day without changing.

Questions

What does the lifetime guarantee cover?
The lifetime guarantee covers structural failures like seam separation or fabric defects. Birdwell will repair or replace the shorts if these issues occur. Gradual wear from many years of use is not covered, but the guarantee reflects confidence in the construction quality.
How do these fit compared to standard swim trunks?
The 300 runs true to standard waist sizing. The medium length falls a few inches above the knee on most wearers. The double-layer construction adds structure, so these have more weight and body than single-layer trunks.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, these must be hung to dry. The care instructions specify hang drying only, no tumble drying. The quick-drying fabric typically air-dries within a few hours.
What is SurfNyl fabric?
SurfNyl is Birdwell's proprietary nylon fabric that is water-repellent and quick-drying. The 300 uses two full layers of this material—one for the shell and one for the lining—which adds durability and helps the shorts maintain their shape over time.
Do these have pockets for storing items?
Yes, the shorts include a wax pocket on the thigh designed for carrying a bar of surf wax or small essentials. The button fly closure also helps keep items secure.
