Product Information

Full details

The Nike Swim Contend Essential 5" Volley Short in Blue is designed for swimmers and athletes seeking comfort and performance during aquatic activities. Its key benefit is the Nike Dri-FIT technology that wicks away sweat for quick evaporation, keeping you dry. A potential caveat is that while durable, the material might feel less flexible than non-performance fabrics for casual wear. This short features a durable, stretchy woven fabric, leg vents for enhanced movement, an interior mesh pocket, perforated accents for breathability, and a comfortable waistband with a drawcord.
