Palmyth Men's Fishing Shorts UPF 50+ Quick Dry 10.5 in Cargo

In this review of the Palmyth Men's Fishing Shorts the bottom line is simple: these are practical, well-built cargo shorts meant for anglers and outdoorsmen who need sun protection and secure storage. The single biggest reason to buy is the thoughtful pocketing system combined with quick-dry, water-repellent MythCool fabric and UPF 50+ sun protection, which together keep gear safe and the wearer cooler on long days in sun or spray. The review finds them best for active use rather than formal wear.

Key Features

• 7 Total Pockets: Multiple pockets, including dual right-leg lined tackle pockets and zippered rear pockets, keep pliers and other tools protected and accessible.
• Water Repellent: The treated fabric resists water and dries quickly to help avoid stains and maintain comfort during wet activities.
• UPF 50+ Sun Protection: MythCool fabric blocks UV rays to reduce sunburn risk during extended time on the water.
• Cooling Performance: MythCool technology and a gusseted crotch promote airflow and a cooling effect when sweating for better comfort in heat.
• Flexible Fit: Elastic waistband with adjustment tabs and a lightweight, breathable cut allow for movement while fishing, hiking, or traveling.
• Durable Construction: Oxford-lined tackle pockets and robust zipper pockets offer extra durability where tools and gear are carried.

Who It's For

These shorts are aimed at anglers who need functional clothing for both inshore and freshwater fishing, and at outdoors people who value quick-dry performance and sun protection. The cargo pocket layout is ideal for someone who carries pliers, scissors or knives and wants them secured in lined compartments.

They are less suited to users seeking a tailored, dressy short or those who need very loose leg room; a few customers reported a snug thigh fit. If roomy, relaxed-cut shorts are your priority, consider a different cargo style with a wider cut.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Thoughtful pocketing with lined tool pockets and multiple zippered compartments for secure storage.
• Lightweight, quick-dry MythCool fabric offers UPF 50+ protection and a cooling feel during activity.
• Elastic waistband and gusseted crotch provide comfortable flexibility and range of motion.
• Water-repellent finish helps keep the shorts cleaner and more comfortable in damp conditions.

Cons

• Some wearers find the thigh area tight; those needing extra room should try a larger size or different cut.
• Tools shown in pocket descriptions are not included, so buyers must supply their own pliers or scissors.
