Swan’s Island is an island town in Hancock County, Maine. It is named after Colonel James Swan of Fife, Scotland. When you live on an island you need shorts, right? Shorts that like water and are comfortable to wear. Shorts that dry quickly and stow up super small. Our new Swan’s Island Shorts fit this lifestyle. Simple, super quick dry and the 6” inseam allows you to be really active, when you want to be. So if you're ever up in Maine, grab the ferry to this idyllic Island, population 442, and be sure to pack your shorts with the same name.

What a fantastic pair of shorts. They have been with me for five years and 4 different countries. They became my daily outdoor hard work and pool shorts. Theyve seen chlorine dirt and lime juice from my afternoon corona topping. The quality is so high that the elastic and draw strong wore out before the material did. I was wondering why I bought two pairs for so many years. Now I know its because I love them Keep making quality gear.

I have one gripe with Railriders damn things last forever So you better like the color when you buy them. These shorts have stood up to 7 years of most salt water swimming as well as exercise on mats and apparatus. Pockets are big enough to hold my hand paddles and goggles which is a big plus entering the surf. The side zipper pocket has worked flawlessly after miles of salt water immersion which in the world of garments today is insane I have had to replace the elastic waistband here in Vietnam. But other than fading from sun and salt the damn things are bullet proof. And the inside lining hasn't stretched a bit Swam in them today. I feel decadent because I just bought another pair in orange Look truth being told if someone said hey man if you wanted an outfitter for your world travels and you were a minimalist who would you pick...take a guess No one does it better for form function and durability

Light and comfy. Good workout shorts and good for a dip in the pool after the workout.

I have purchased 7 pairs of these shorts after hiking the 2657 mile Pacific Crest Trail in a pair. Love these shorts and they are the perfect adventure short for all activities that can be done in shorts. They dry fairly quickly after a swim. You can jump in water to cool down and just get going on your hike. I love the small zipped stash pocket to keep my pocket knife and chap-stick handy plus any other small goodies I want on hand. Very durable and get lots of complements on the color scheme. I cut out the liners to keep them as light as possible. I have a 30" waist and the small is a great fit.

Love these. They are my new go-to work out shorts. The pockets are good enough to hold a wallet and a phone - unlike most workout shorts.

Hubby loves these. This is second pair and will most likely get him the other color too. Loves all of the RailRiders clothing that he has.

Casual comfortable functional and great fabric. I may buy a second pair in another color.
