Plaid is so rad that even Volcom keeps coming with it. Last year, we had the wildly successful Hampton Plaid. This year, Volcom decided to give it a bit more flair and so they came with the Vampton plaid boardshort. I think this is a better representation of the Volcom way because the plaid is kind of wavy and wild with a burst of color. This style is made from quick drying supersuede fabric. The design here is actually quite notable as it has angled seams with a pieced back that gives you a cool change of direction on the plaid and also keeps the fit relaxed, but not too loose. The Vampton comes with a functional side cargo pocket and zipper fly.
