Free Fly focuses on building pieces that can keep up with strenuous and adventurous activities like surfing and fishing, but they're great for everyday wear, too. The Breeze shorts are made from a comfortable blend of polyester and spandex for ease of movement, and the stretchy waistband is comfortable yet secure.
