2026 Former Team 20" Trunk Shorts | High-Performance Performance in Cobalt
Engineered for the modern surfer who demands both technical precision and a bold aesthetic, the Former Team 20" Trunk Shorts in Cobalt are a standout in the water. These trunks trade the vintage "merch-wash" look of the 19" version for a high-performance nylon-spandex blend, offering a more athletic feel with a slightly longer outseam. Whether you're navigating a heavy beach break or paddling for a remote point, these trunks deliver the "drive" and flexibility needed to keep your session on point.
Key Technical Features
-
Premium Nylon-Spandex Blend (90/10): Unlike standard polyester trunks, this nylon-rich fabric provides a smoother, more durable hand-feel with a high-strength 4-way stretch. It’s designed to minimize drag and maximize mobility in high-output conditions.
-
Standard 20" Trunk Fit: Delivering a slightly longer silhouette than the 19" variant, this fit typically hits just at or below the knee for most riders. It offers superior sun protection and prevents board-rub during long sessions.
-
Technical Hardware: Featuring a secure fixed waistband and a drawcord closure finished with custom Franchise "F" metal aglets. This ensures your trunks stay locked in place through the heaviest duck-dives.
-
Iconic Side Panel Graphics: Detailed with high-visibility screenprinted Crux and Legacy logos on the side panels, bringing Former’s signature "pop art" aesthetic to the lineup.
-
Functional Utility: Equipped with an elastic key loop to keep your essentials secure and a specialized fabric treatment that ensures quick-drying performance after you leave the salt.
Why You’ll Love It
The Team 20" Trunk in Cobalt is for the surfer who wants to be seen and move freely. The vibrant Cobalt blue offers a sharp contrast to the grey tones of the ocean, while the 4-way stretch ensures you’re never held back during a critical turn. If you’re looking for a technical boardshort that carries the independent spirit of founders Dane Reynolds and Craig Anderson, these 20-inch powerhouses are your new go-to for the 2026 season.
