APEX Evolution Trunk by Kelly Slater

$182

Three years in the making, this is the second generation of Kelly’s APEX Trunk. We took the most high-performance trunk ever made — and made it even better. 

We delivered on Kelly’s precise design requests: better no-slip braided drawcords, an enhanced waistband that cinches without bunching, and reinforced ultrasonic-welded seams where it matters most. 

We teamed up with our friends at Bureo for their matchless NetPlus® material made from recycled fishing nets. This yielded a truly responsibly made trunk with a little more substance than the first APEX—without compromising any performance qualities. 

Crafted from 90% NetPlus® Recycled Nylon, 10% Spandex. 

Performance-centered design details throughout: 

  • Pitched forward side seams with vents for easier fit on the board.
  • Unique arc and tangent shaped back pocket featuring a key loop and eleven laser cut drainage holes, one for each of Kelly's world titles.
  • Engineered side seam taping.
  • Soft touch interior waistband.
  • Gusseted fly.
  • Soft touch triangles at inner thigh touch points.
  • Unique rubberized drawstring.

Construction

90% NetPlus® Recycled Fishing Nets, 10% elastane

NetPlus® material is made from post-consumer recycled fishing nets! By providing fishermen an end-of-life solution for discarded nets, they've kept over 14 million pounds of plastic out of the ocean. We're excited to be part of the solution.

This garment is sewn in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, which means the makers have been paid a premium for their work; they collectively decide how to use this extra funding to better their lives.
