Vuori is an elevated board short company starter which is now expanded to athleasure wear. It hails from Orange County, California (my hometown) and is now a nationwide brand. I love their borad shorts a LOT! I mean a LOT. I habe them in multiple types. This Kore short is my second favorite next to the Banks and Ponto shorts (which I sell in here too). The liner is a slub cotton material which is very soft and durable in color grey. Use this short for swim, hike, gym, etc. very hybrid and versatile!
