What are the Baggies™ Shorts?
They're casual, functional shorts with a relaxed fit. Baggies™ Shorts are renowned for their comfortable design and versatility, making them an essential wardrobe staple for the warmer months, no matter what you're up to.
What are they made of?
These shorts are constructed with NetPlus®, which comprises 100% postconsumer recycled nylon faille made from recycled fishing nets.
NetPlus® is Bureo's signature material. As mentioned, it's made from postconsumer recycled fishing nets, meaning it helps reduce one of the most harmful forms of ocean plastic pollution while still empowering fishing communities worldwide. The material is fully traceable and created in partnership with fishermen and women to provide a more circular solution for end-of-life nets, reducing the amount of plastic entering the ocean and making the most of what is otherwise an incredibly usable material.
Materials are treated with a PFC/PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent). PFC-free means perfluorinated chemical-free. Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), commonly used to add water repellent to textiles, are also known as forever chemicals and cause environmental harm, similar to PFAS.
PFAS means per- or poly-fluorinated alkyl; these are a group of industrial chemicals that also cause detrimental harm to the environment, often through product and garment manufacture.
These chemicals can't break down, so once they reach nature (usually via factory water waste), they stay in the ecosystem and contaminate living organisms, working their way up the food chain. PFAS and PFCs are suspected carcinogens and have been known to affect mammal reproduction and hormone production. Therefore, many leading brands in the outdoor industry are now prioritising cutting out the use of these chemicals entirely to contribute to a more responsible manufacturing process.
The main fabric is also bluesign® approved, meaning it's manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
What are the features?
The regular rise provides ample coverage and looks great with a t-shirt or tank top.
An elasticated waistband with an internal drawcord provides a more customisable fit.
The two front pockets are lined with 100% recycled polyester mesh for drainage, and the right front pocket has an elastic key loop to keep the car and house keys safe.
The 5" inseam provides plenty of coverage for outdoor and casual activities, making these great all-round shorts for the summer.
