tru[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ell, look no more. We found the best shorts for the money. These days, almost everything we buy in clothes is shoddily made, even brands we used to think of as top-of-the-line . . . if the comparison is 20 years ago.

In a pair of fishing shorts, it’s the material, pockets, zippers, buttons and sewing – or fit and finish, that makes the difference. The TrueFlies Captiva Air-Lite Shorts material is as stated, ‘lite’, ‘airy’, ‘moisture wicking’ and can take abuse without ripping. The pockets are deep and well placed and the auxiliary pocket with a zipper took some thinking from a fisherman – namely Captain Cole Fairbanks, owner of TruFlies. The fit and finish (sewing, hems, belt loops, buttons, zippers) are both rugged and high caliber workmanship – somebody is paying attention to details.

Get home, and in less than an hour you can shower or hit the pool with them on, put them on the porch to dry, put them back on and be perfectly dressed for cocktails at the neighbors.

BTW, the dress shirts or fishing shirts from TF are also very well made.
