2026 Former Crux 20" Trunk Shorts | High-Performance Hardware for the Lineup
Part of the foundational Origin Collection, the Former Crux 20" Trunk Shorts in Black are a high-performance essential for those who push their limits in the salt. Trading the vintage aesthetic for technical superiority, these trunks are built from a premium nylon-spandex blend that offers a "heavier structured" feel while maintaining elite flexibility. With a slightly longer 20-inch outseam and a bold side graphic, they represent the perfect balance of Dane Reynolds’ "pop art" vision and raw surf utility.
Key Technical Features
-
Premium Nylon-Spandex Blend (90/10): A high-performance fabric that provides superior durability compared to standard polyester. The 4-way stretch ensures zero restriction during explosive bottom turns or technical maneuvers.
-
Standard 20" Leg Length: Offering a slightly longer, traditional profile that typically sits right at or just below the knee. This length provides added protection against board-rub and a streamlined silhouette in the water.
-
Secure Welt Zip Back Pocket: Unlike standard velcro pockets, this trunk features a sleek welt pocket with a secure zip closure—keeping your essentials locked down while you're navigating heavy shorebreak.
-
Technical Hardware & Finish: Equipped with a rock-solid fixed waistband and a drawcord closure with custom Franchise "F" metal aglets. The pre-wash finish ensures a soft hand-feel from your very first session.
-
Bold Crux Screenprint: Features a high-contrast, oversized Crux logo screenprint on the side panel, perfectly capturing the independent, rebellious energy of the Former crew.
-
Internal Utility: Includes an elastic key loop to keep your vehicle secure while you're out the back.
Why You’ll Love It
