Trakker Board Shorts

The Trakker Board Shorts are premium, high-performance summer apparel engineered specifically to keep you cool, dry, and completely unrestricted during the warmer months. Recognizing that active bankside movement demands specialized fabrics, Trakker has manufactured these shorts from an advanced four-way stretch material. This ensures uncompromised freedom of movement, whether you are crouching to net a fish, scrambling down steep banks, or casting from a boat.

Combining utilitarian storage with casual styling, the shorts feature a part-elasticated waistband paired with sturdy belt loops and custom silicone-dipped drawstrings, allowing you to achieve a perfect, secure fit. To eliminate the risk of dropping valuable gear into the margins, the shorts are equipped with two heavy-duty zipped hand pockets, along with two spacious combat-style cargo pockets further down the legs for rapid access to essential terminal gear or your phone.

Where to Use

• Active Summer Carp Angling: The ultimate garment for mobile stalking sessions during heatwaves, allowing you to walk long distances around massive inland lakes without chafing or restriction.

• Boat Fishing and Wading: Perfect for boat work or stepping into the margins to land a fish, as the quick-drying stretch fabric won’t hold onto water or restrict your legs when climbing back over gunwales or steep banks.

• Overseas Fishing Road Trips: An exceptional choice for warm-weather continental trips to France or Spain, keeping you highly comfortable during intense daytime temperatures while retaining maximum utility storage.

Pro Tip

The combat-style leg pockets are perfectly positioned to act as a temporary “rigging station” when you are mobile. Instead of carrying a heavy tackle box while stalking fish in the margins, load one zipped pocket with your phone and keys, and use the combat pockets for a couple of spare spools of hooklink material, a pack of hooks, and your baiting needles. The four-way stretch fabric keeps these items pressed flat against your leg while walking, preventing them from swinging around and slapping against your knees while you hunt for signs of feeding fish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the four-way stretch fabric tear easily on bankside brambles?

Not at all. While the fabric is incredibly lightweight, flexible, and comfortable, it is woven using high-tensile, abrasion-resistant synthetic fibres. It is designed to withstand the typical rigours of outdoor life, including brushing past lakeside reeds, tall grass, and light undergrowth without snagging or pulling the weave.

Are these shorts quick-drying if they get wet?

Yes. The material blend relies on advanced moisture-wicking and quick-dry technology. If you get caught in a sudden summer shower, splashed during a heavy fish photo session, or wet while wading out to net a fish, the fabric spreads the moisture thinly to accelerate evaporation, drying out completely in a fraction of the time of standard cotton shorts.

How secure are the main zipped pockets?

The two main hand pockets feature low-profile, heavy-duty zippers that are fully recessed. When closed, they lock securely in place, meaning your expensive smartphone, wireless bite alarm receiver, or car keys cannot slide out and fall into the mud or water when you are sitting low on a guest chair or crouching down to handle a specimen on the unhooking mat.
