Gear Review: 5Alive Everyday Shorts

WHAT IS IT?

5Alive Everyday Shorts

WHAT SETS IT APART?

The 5Alive Everyday Shorts check all the boxes for a great pair of fishing and boating shorts. Their standout feature is an ultra-lightweight design that practically disappears once you put them on. On hot summer days, that lightweight feel, combined with breathable and stretchy fabric, helps keep you comfortable from sunrise to sunset.

Whether you’re making long runs across the lake, stepping around the boat deck or bending down to grab tackle, the Everyday Shorts move with you without feeling restrictive. The quick-dry material is another major plus. If you get caught in the rain, take a wave over the bow or decide to cool off with a swim, these shorts dry quickly and stay comfortable throughout the day.

The 7-inch inseam strikes a great balance, offering a modern fit that isn’t too long or too short. They’re equally at home on the water, at the beach or out around town.

Another thing that makes 5Alive stand out is the company’s commitment to the fishing community. Built by anglers for anglers, the brand supports and, as they grow, hopes to help fund conservation efforts aimed at improving fisheries, including projects benefiting waters such as Lake Okeechobee and the St. Johns River.

HOW DO I USE IT?

As someone who spends long days on the water, comfort is a top priority, and the 5Alive Everyday Shorts have quickly become a staple in my summer lineup. Their lightweight construction and stretch fabric make them easy to wear during eight-, 10- or even 12-hour fishing days, while the quick-dry material keeps you comfortable when conditions get wet.

I also appreciate their versatility. The clean design and belt loops give them a more polished look than many performance shorts, making them just as suitable for grabbing dinner after a day on the lake as they are for time spent on the water.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

When temperatures climb, comfortable clothing can make a big difference in how enjoyable a day on the water becomes. The 5Alive Everyday Shorts deliver the lightweight feel, breathability and freedom of movement anglers need, while remaining versatile enough for everyday wear. Their clean, minimalist design doesn’t scream “fishing apparel,” making them just as comfortable at a restaurant or backyard gathering as they are on the water. They’re also lightweight enough to pack easily for vacations and fishing trips. At $44, they offer a lot of performance and versatility for the price, making them a strong value for anglers looking for a go-anywhere pair of shorts.
