The Alpine Dip Boardshorts are engineered for summer days spent bouncing between water, trail, and town. The lightweight, ultra stretchy fabric dries fast after a lake plunge or pool cool down so you are not left damp and uncomfortable, and the seven inch inseam hits the ideal balance of mobility and everyday wearability. Mesh lined pockets drain quickly in water and breathe well on land, while the secure rear zip pocket and key loop keep essentials locked down through movement.
From spontaneous alpine dips to gym sessions to lazy afternoons around the house, these shorts are built for people who want to pack less, do more, and enjoy the season without swapping outfits. Throw them on for a hike, a run, a road trip, or a hammock nap. Once summer hits, these might become the only shorts you wear.

Very functional and comfortable boardshorts. Some of the stitching came lose during their first use but it was a quick fix
My first impression of these shorts is that they are awesome. The fabric is very light and comfortable, and true to description they dry quickly. I have only had them about a week, but have used them in the gym, for yoga, and in the pool. And so far I have no complaints. They fit true to size, I ordered M and usually wear M in shorts. The only slight complaint is they are a bit tighter through the leg than I thought, but not in a way that prohibits movement at all. One thing I really enjoy is the pockets are integrated well, I feel some swim shorts with pockets can have thick bulky pockets that are uncomfortable when wet, these pockets are very comfortable and hardly noticed.
Way better than typical boardshorts. They have an actual drawstring that goes all around that can be cinched to your waist size instead of the the shoelace type on all others, which just cinches the front together.
Great fit, quality material, they look and feel like a pair of nice shorts you would wear anywhere. Better fit and feel than many of the other “high end” brands I have tried.
Great boardshorts! I like the style and the pockets are an added bonus. Super stretchy and comfortable.
So far, I've used them both for training runs and races. They fit great, breathe well, and seem to have just the right amount of material. They also have three roomy pockets that stay secure while running, with plenty of space for a phone, valuables, electrolytes, and energy chews. They pair well with the Shoulder Season top for cooler days and the NoFry Sun Hoodie for when it's warmer. I bought the red and the blue and would recommend them.
Best shorts ever!!! Great for jumpkicks, alpine dips, and straight lounging. When I put these shorts on I realize this is how life is meant to be lived.
Hiked to the Río Grande and jumped right in, then hiked right out.
Great shorts, super comfortable! I haven't managed to go swimming in them yet, but I think they'll be great. They aren't the longest shorts--they're shorter than my old ones, but they aren't super short either.
Went to Mexico on a beach vacation and wore them every day, so comfortable. They seem great quality, dry super fast and I love the pockets and zipper rear pocket. Will be buying other colors
Super comfortable and definitely quick dry...love the back zip pocket and deep front pockets. Color (blue) was a little brighter than the photo. These a great multi-purpose shorts, you will not be disappointed. I'm a 34-36 waist and size Large fit perfectly. Rocked the shorts with the Nofry hoodie multiple days on the beach, I defintely recommend.
really like these shorts i bought 2 pair soft and comfortable they are my go to for crossfitonly complaint is the metal snap button it’s the same one as the mtn bike shorts not very strong a sewn in pass through button would be way better
I was a little skeptical about these shorts being as short at they are. I usually like something a little longer but because I love everything I have ever ordered from Ketl I gave them a shot. They are now my go to work out shorts, I wear them to bed when we have house guests, and I’m not afraid to show that much leg in public anymore. Once it’s warm enough I suppose I’ll try swimming with them at some point.
Great shorts for the yoga studio or the beach!
Very comfortable. I bought for a cruise and haven't swam in them yet. I'm a 33 waist and ordered the large so I have to pull the drawstring tight. Hopefully they'll stay on. I may try the medium next time.
Very pleased with these boardshorts. Exceptional features, for and performance. They look amazing and feel great, so glad Blue restocked before my Hawaii trip. Thank you KETL Mtn, well done team.
Was looking for some hybrid shorts to take on a lengthy trip where I only had a carry-on piece of luggage for the entirety so multi-function clothing was critical. These shorts pack light, look and feel great, and I can attest to the satisfaction guarantee. I experienced a failure of the closure button in the first week I had them, and upon my reporting it, they immediately sent out a replacement. Looking forward to seeing how they last - but I have high hopes.
