Sailing the Peloponese
"Look great, feel great, cool in the sun, easy wash and solid build. I just put two hundred nautical miles on a pair, faultless. On my return I have ordered two addition pairs for future trips. West Bay Willy."
Purpose-built for modern sailors and outdoor explorers, the Fremantle Short 2.0 is a refined update to a deckside essential. These chino-style technical shorts combine sharp design with high-performance functionality, whether you’re on the water, at the marina, or navigating everyday life.
Made from a double-weave stretch fabric composed of 92% recycled polyester and 8% spandex, these shorts deliver durable flexibility with eco-conscious credentials. The 4-way stretch construction moves with you, while the PFC-free DWR finish offers protection from spray and light rain.
Built for hard use, they’re abrasion- and tear-resistant, breathable, and quick
to dry, ideal for active, warm-weather use. Thoughtful features like angled chino pockets, a YKK® AquaGuard® zip back pocket, and a laminated waist-band with snap closure elevate these shorts from functional to essential.

"My husband loves your dri-fast clothing. They wash beautifully and no ironing is a huge plus too. The shorts look great and fit well, and continue looking good as they never seem to wear out! I buy your dri-fast shorts and t-shirts for my son and he’s a big fan too."
"They look good"
"Excellent fit and well made. Zipped back pocket just right for a wallet! All round good shorts. Easy to wear and pair well with the polo shirt of similar material :bottle_popping_cork:👍"
"True to size and a nice light material. Well made with a quality finish"
"Perfect as always with Henri Lloyd products."
"Unfortunately my experience has not been positive. I returned my order - shorts- due to being too small. It has taken 17 days for a refund and then it has been a partial refund!! They were returned in immaculate condition with labels and packaging. I have tried numerous times to contact you via email and phone for assistance and an explanation. No reply ever happens. Disgusting customer service and not what I expected. Such a shame because the clothing is good."
"Class product. Very easy to dress up or down. Very robust and easy to clean"
"True to size, popper fasteners make it easy to fasten. Cool colour ,longer leg than is usual, deep side pockets & zipped rear pocket make for the most comfortable shorts I have owned. So much so that I bought a blue colour too. Excellent! Well done Henri Lloyd!"
"Wonderful yacht shorts. Pockets could be a little deeper when come out with 2. 0 version. Otherwise, best out there for on the water or marina bar. Easy care and stowing. A Trim but not too trim true to size. New crew fav."
