WHAT ARE HYBRID SHORTS?

O’Neill’s Men’s Hybrid Shorts are defined by their lightweight feel, stretch fabrication and quick-dry technology. It is our take on what a modern short should be, enhanced to create an extremely comfortable fit that’s versatile for any kind of wear. You can take an impromptu swim and relax afterward without fear of your shorts staying wet all day, unlike traditional swim trunks. 

HOW SHOULD HYBRID SHORTS BE WORN?

Any way you want! O’Neill Hybrid Shorts are meant to keep you comfortable at home, catching a flight, walking around the city, hiking to a remote surf spot or on the golf course. They are the most comfortable everyday shorts you will ever own, with enhanced fabric properties like Hyperfreak 4-way stretch and Hyperdry, O’Neill’s signature quick-dry technology. These features ensure you stay dry and reduce sweat and discomfort, maintaining your style throughout the day.
