Hurley Phantom Eco Classic Boardshort 18 - 86% Recycled Fabric
Published on 09/23/2026 at 06:14 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Hurley Phantom Eco Classic Boardshort 18 is a men's boardshort with an 18-inch outseam, straight-leg cut, and Phantom stretch fabric. Hurley lists a DWR coating for quicker drying and a back pocket with Velcro closure and a grosgrain pull.
Recycled Stretch Fabric
The fabric composition is 47% recycled polyester, 39% ocean-bound Repreve, and 14% spandex, according to Hurley's Phantom Eco Classic product details. The four-way stretch construction is designed for movement, while the DWR finish supports faster drying after water exposure.
The model uses an 18-inch outseam and a straight leg. A comparable men's Phantom Eco Classic listing also identifies a 7-inch inseam, a front tie closure, and an 86% recycled-material composition, although fabric percentages differ between listed color and production versions.
Cut And Pocket Design
The boardshort combines a drawcord waist with a back pocket secured by Velcro. The pocket also uses a grosgrain pull, giving the storage compartment a defined closure instead of an open side-entry design.
The 18-inch outseam places this model above shorter 7-inch boardshort silhouettes in Hurley's range. The separate 7-inch inseam figure belongs to the same 18-inch outseam construction documented for the Phantom Eco Classic style, not to a shorter outseam model.
Price And Category Position
US listings place the Phantom Eco Classic 18-inch boardshort at a $59.95 MSRP, with sale prices including $41.96 at Zappos and $35.97 at Dick's Sporting Goods on dated listings. The US retailer listing identifies the Phantom Eco Classic 18-inch style and its $59.95 MSRP.
Compared with Hurley's shorter Phantom Eco Classic 7-inch option, the 18-inch model provides the longer outseam documented in its name and specifications. The distinction matters for shoppers choosing between a mid-length boardshort profile and a shorter swim-short cut.
Best Fit For Water Use
The documented combination of four-way stretch, DWR coating, recycled-fiber content, drawcord closure, and a back Velcro pocket makes the Phantom Eco Classic 18 a functional mid-length boardshort for swimming and board sports. Its longer cut favors coverage over the shorter Phantom silhouettes.
The main limit is the fixed 18-inch outseam: shoppers seeking a short swim trunk will find the 7-inch Phantom option closer to that proportion. The Phantom Eco Classic 18 is the better category fit for users who want a straight-leg boardshort with stretch fabric, quick-drying treatment, and recycled materials.
