“The summer days have grown long and hot as we linger through the dog days, but when there's fish to be caught, a hot day is a poor excuse to stay home. I had been having some issues finding a quality pair of shorts with breathable material that could keep me cool on a hot day yet be durable enough to handle the wear and tear of the everyday fishermen. I knew immediately, this was the short for me. These shorts kept me cool all summer. No more swampy days for me and my fishing friends, gladly. Furthermore, I found that the side pockets were extremely convenient and useful. Now I never have to search the boat for pliers, which gets the fish back in the water in a timely fashion. Thanks AFTCO, you have truly made a day on the boat just as cool and comfortable as a walk in the park.”
“Some people say shorts are shorts.. Not true.. Here at Dream Catcher Charters we know that everything on a fishing guide is a tool.. The shorts included. With a fantastic re-enforced plier pocket. Super durable material that does not wear, tear, shrink, dry fast, spot from bleach, stain and last a long long time.. We wear these and the M01L Mostly wear the black in color so the days catch does not show as well.. You will always find our fishing guides wearing these shorts. Its Mandatory.”
“I am not a board short kinda guy. I have been wearing the original fishing shorts by AFTCO for over 15 years. Durable and lightweight construction make it the perfect choice in hot climates. All the pockets are in the right place and the reinforced plier pocket has never failed. I fish 250 days per year and wear these shorts every day. I get multiple seasons out of every pair. I guarantee you wont go wrong with this pair of shorts.”
“The construction on these shorts is top notch, and the look and feel just gets better with time. Just like a favorite t-shirt, my super old AFTCO's are so broken in and soft, but haven't lost any functionality. On my charter boat in the florida keys, I punish every piece of equipment that I own, including my clothes. Between ballyhoo poop, tuna blood, and sailfish slime, my shorts get a real work out. Yet after a quick wash they're back to looking new. I even wear my AFTCO's when I'm not fishing. I own eight pairs of these shorts, and I rotate wearing them every day. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.”
