BASSDASH 10.5 Mens Fishing Cargo Shorts Quick Dry UPF 50+ - Ready on

Our review of the BASSDASH 10.5 Mens Fishing Cargo Shorts finds them best suited to anglers and active outdoorsmen who need practical storage and sun protection without bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is the thoughtful pocket layout combined with UPF 50+ fabric that dries quickly, so these shorts keep essentials organized and protect from sun exposure while remaining comfortable during long days on the water or trail. The fit is relaxed for movement, and the durable 4-way stretch fabric and gusseted crotch make them a reliable option for repeated outdoor use.

Key Features

• Seven pockets: Seven convenient pockets provide organized, hands-free storage for tools, wallet and small gear so you can move without fumbling for items.
• UPF 50+ protection: Built-in UV protection blocks harmful UVA and UVB rays so you can stay in the sun longer with reduced burn risk.
• Quick-dry, water resistant fabric: The material sheds light moisture and dries fast, which keeps the shorts comfortable after splashes or sweat.
• 4-way stretch and gusseted crotch: Durable stretch and a gusseted crotch with small breathe holes increase range of motion and ventilation for active pursuits.
• Adjustable waistband: Elastic waist with strong tabs lets you fine-tune the fit without needing a belt for many activities.
• Small utility details: A front accessory loop and hidden cargo loop secure small tools or a bottle opener for quick access while working or fishing.

Who It's For

These shorts are ideal for men who spend time fishing, hiking, sailing or participating in water sports and want purposeful storage, sun protection and fast drying performance. The relaxed cut and stretch fabric suit anglers who need freedom of movement and multiple pockets to store pliers, lures, phone and keys.

Those who prefer a very tailored, shorter inseam or a slim fashion fit should look elsewhere, since the 10.5 in length and loose fit can read long and roomy for some buyers. Also, if you need heavy-duty waterproofing rather than water resistance and quick drying, a technical waterproof short would be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• UPF 50+ fabric offers meaningful sun protection for long days outdoors.
• Quick-dry, lightweight material and 4-way stretch make the shorts comfortable and easy to move in.
• Adjustable waist tabs and gusseted design improve fit and mobility during activity.

Cons

• Fit and inseam length run mixed for some buyers-mediums can feel roomy and the 10.5 in inseam is longer than a typical casual short.
