Saba Recycled Seam-Free Boardshorts

Best of Category: Men's Lifestyle Apparel

A pair of boardshorts that cares about the environment? You got that right. This is AFTCO's first dive into recyclable material integrated within our technical fishing clothing.

To accomplish this, we reduced the amount of seams and other unnecessary trims to deliver maximum comfort with a "Seam-Free" construction.
