Elasticated shorts are designed with an elasticated waistband, which provides a comfortable fit and ease of movement. They are typically made from lightweight and quick-drying materials, such as polyester, nylon or a blend of both. They often feature utility pockets for added functionality and convenience, as well as triple stitch construction and bar-tacks at stress points for durability.
UV protection may also be included for outdoor activities. The length of elasticated shorts can vary depending on the style, with some being above the knee and others being longer. Casual-fit elasticated shorts are suitable for various outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, and casual wear.
