Made from durable, comfortable 135gsm cotton, our Hose Down Shorts are a robust, reliable choice for long, hot days in the Summer sun.
Based on the hardwearing design of traditional rugby shorts — with an extra dose of Ridgeline ruggedness — they feature two large hand pockets and a hidden zipped pocket for your quad keys or beer tokens. The fabric has even been treated with handy oil and water-resistant treatments to minimise stains and help repel water.
And, needless to say, if an impromptu game of sevens breaks out in the yard, you’ll appreciate the side vents and loose, comfy fit. So, if you’re planning to make like Campese and goose step your way to glory, it’s not your shorts that’s going to be holding you back.
