Vollebak has reimagined one of menswear’s most iconic staples—the chino short—by fusing timeless design with next-level durability. Introducing the Indestructible Chino Shorts, constructed with a blend of cotton and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber used in body armor, arctic climbing ropes, and even tank armor. While they may resemble classic chino shorts, these are engineered for extreme conditions.

Inspired by the original military-issue chinos that became post-war Ivy League icons, Vollebak’s version pays homage to history while future-proofing the build. The Dyneema® is invisibly woven with cotton at the fiber level, so the exterior feels soft, broken-in, and familiar—not like high-tech gear. A garment wash adds comfort right out of the box, making them feel like your favorite shorts from the very first wear.

Cordura-reinforced pocket linings enhance toughness in high-stress areas, while thoughtful details, such as a zip fly, five belt loops, and a stealthy angled zip pocket, elevate the utility. Whether you’re scaling rocky terrain, commuting on a one-wheel, or navigating urban summer heat, these shorts won’t quit before you do.

Made in Portugal using Japanese fabric, the Indestructible Chino Shorts are built to last decades—not seasons. At $445, they’re an investment in everyday performance that blends military-grade resilience with minimalist style. In a world where most shorts tear, fade, and fall apart, Vollebak’s latest drop is unapologetically overbuilt—and that’s precisely the point.
