THE SPARTAN: MEN`S JOURNAL APPROVED

We were doing our Bluesmiths thing the other day when we got some great news. The guys over at Men’s Journal had taken our Spartan shorts for a test ride and, once out of the water, had declared them the “freshest boardshorts we’ve ever tested.” And there was more. They were also “amazed by their functionality – stretchy enough for uninhibited paddling and soft enough to eliminate the chaffing that can occur while wearing normal shorts when you’re in and out of the water.” This was great because a) creating amazingly functional boardshorts was the whole reason we decided to make the Spartan in the first place and b) it’s cool that the magazine spotted all the details – special materials, rust-free zippers, etc. – that went into making the Spartan as fine a boardshort as you’re likely to meet. Plus it means we can now say that The Spartan is MJ Approved!
