Whether you are spending the summer on the Mediterranean or travelling to the Equator, the DESERT VALLEY SHORTS are always a good choice in really hot weather. These are our lightest travel shorts, with a high UPF and superb next-to-skin comfort. The SUPPLEX fabric is light and comfortable, and dries fast too. This is ideal when you want to give them a quick wash through, or if you get caught in a summer shower. And they take up very little space in your travel bag.
