These new Transition Scout Shorts from Apolis have the fit and styling of regular shorts, but are made out of water-repellent nylon (by a factory that’s been making men’s swimwear for over 50 years), so you can swim in them too. Which means there’s pretty much no summer activity these can’t handle, be it hiking, biking, surfing, kayaking, or, if you’ll be spending your summer the way I’ll be spending mine, sitting hunched over a computer in an unventilated room while your life slowly passes you by.
