"Are these fishing shorts comfortable enough to wear all day on the water"Asking for a friend.If heading out for an all-day fishing trip with your buddies is an option (to be determined by you and your non-fishing significant other), Pelagic's Hydro-Lite Pro Abyss Board Shorts might just make the difference between success and failure. Of course, success isn't always measured in the size or number of fish you catch. More often than not, success can be attributed to how you feel at the end of the day. Sore is okay (assuming you got that way reeling in exceedingly large fish). Soggy, clammy, uncomfortable, chafed and stained is not. Can you use these board shorts for surfing Sure, but they're more at home fishing from a dock, on the shore, in the surf, on an SUP, in a kayak or on a boat.What features make these shorts better for fishing than ordinary swim trunks or cargo shorts8-Way Stretch: This mechanical super-stretch fabric has a memory. No, it won't help you remember your anniversary. What it will do is bounce back to its original shape after you reach for a shrimp in your bait bucket or twist to make that pinpoint cast in between the ripples next to that cypress stump.Welded Seams: Although technically seams, welded seams don't act like seams where pieces of fabric are sewn together.

But that doesn't mean you have to stay that way. Waterlogged shorts are a thing of the past with fabric that simply doesn't hold water.Water/Stain Repellent: Their hydro-repel coating and stain release technology lets you easily wash away the residue of your successful fishing trip. No more "fishy" shorts for your significant other to object to the next day.Reinforced Tool Pocket: Fishing pliers are notoriously hard on pockets. Not with this heavy-duty pocket. Not only is this right-hip pocket reinforced to keep your pliers (or other sharp tools) from creating unwelcome
