Billabong Boardshort Styles
Billabong has 6 types of boardshort styles currently to give a broad range of appeal, functionality, and pricing. We're giving you the run down of what each one brings.
PlatinumX Airlite - The pinnacle of boardshort design, Platinum X Airlite combines unprecedented levels of flexibility, stability and comfort into one boardshort. Airlit's flex-weld waistband technology encompasses a sliced welded flexural waist-band, seamlessly bonded to a stretch weave fabric that allows movement and torque through the hips, while maintaining comfort and security. Engineered multi-tier stretch jacquard weaves enable 360* Omni-directional movement and flexibility by anatomically mapping the patterns to the body's movements through critical zones in the boardshort. Airlite's signature engineered stretch jacquard weaves are lighter than traditional stretch boardshort fabrics. The anatomical mapping of these weaves combined with stretch welded seams, allow radial movement through the entirety of the boardshort, amplifying performance. Airlite dobby weaves boost micro perforations that enhance breathability, limit cling to the body and are critical to rash-free sessions.
