2026 Former Team 19" Trunk Shorts | High-Performance Utility with a Vintage Soul
Dive into the lineup with the Former Team 19" Trunk Shorts in Black. These aren't just standard boardies; they are a technical response to the demands of modern surfing, blending high-stretch mobility with a rugged, "reaction to tradition" aesthetic. Featuring a pigment-dye wash for that sought-after vintage look and contrast ripstop side panels for added durability, these trunks are built to handle the grit of the Australian coast while keeping your "drive" and style on point.
Key Technical Features
-
4-Way Stretch Blend (90% Poly / 10% Spandex): Engineered for maximum mobility. This high-performance fabric moves with your body, ensuring zero restriction during deep bottom turns or technical aerials.
-
19" Leg Length: The "Goldilocks" of outseams—sitting comfortably above the knee to provide a modern, athletic silhouette that doesn't hang up on your board during takeoffs.
-
Pigment Dye & Vintage Wash: Every pair undergoes a specialized treatment to achieve a soft, lived-in feel and a faded black hue that looks like it’s survived years of salt and sun.
-
Contrast Ripstop Side Panels: Reinforced with durable ripstop fabric on the sides to prevent blowouts and provide a technical, multi-textured look that stands up to the reef and the deck.
-
Fixed Waist with Drawcord Closure: Features a rock-solid fixed waistband with a secure drawcord and branded metal aglets, ensuring your trunks stay locked in place even in heavy shorebreak.
-
Secure Storage: Equipped with a velcro back patch pocket featuring a drainage eyelet and an internal elastic key loop to keep your essentials safe while you’re in the water.
