This shorty's flat-lock stretching helps keep water from seeping in while providing comfortable exposure protection.
The flat-lock stitching on this women's shorty means you’ll have no uncomfortable chafing against the skin, and the rear YKK zipper is sandwiched between two rubber sealing strips and has a lowprofile overflap, which helps keep water from seeping in.
