Backcountry Skinz VoltZ™ 5.5" Fishing Shorts
The ultimate fishing shorts for anglers who move fast, travel far, and demand gear that can survive the backcountry. The Backcountry Skinz VoltZ™ 5.5" Fishing Shorts are built for serious days on the water and off the beaten path — from steep alpine approaches to deep river wades and long stalks along the bank. Designed for anglers, hikers, and explorers who need a pair of ultra-reliable, fast-drying fishing shorts that won’t weigh them down.
Crafted from a 90% polyester / 10% elastane 4-way stretch woven fabric, these lightweight shorts move naturally with your stride, shed water quickly, and dry faster than anything in their class. Whether you're bushwhacking through wet undergrowth or powering across a river channel, these fishing shorts keep you comfortable, unencumbered, and ready for the next cast.
Every feature is built for real anglers: waterproof-coated zippers with rope pulls for cold or wet hands, secure cargo pockets sized for fly boxes or essentials, and a front D-ring for tools, tippet, zingers, or forceps. At only a feather of their weight, it’s easy to forget you’re even wearing them — until you push into terrain where ordinary shorts fail.
Field-tested in the Canadian backcountry and on the rugged rivers of New Zealand, these shorts were designed with one mission: to perform in the harshest, wettest, and most unpredictable environments anglers face.
If you want fishing shorts that perform like technical gear and feel like a second skin, the VoltZ™ 5.5" Fishing Shorts are your new staple.
