Volcom Gets Patent On The Cinch Fly

by The Editors on October 9, 2013

It’s official. Try and run a Cinch Fly on your shorts without permission from Volcom and you’re going to be breaking the law.

“The Cinch Fly was created to eliminate the bulkiness and maximize comfort,” says Joe Frizzelle, senior men’s board short designer. “Through the strategic design on the fly, we were able to discard the zipper without adding an inner gusset/extra fabric.. This dramatically reduced the amount of fabric & construction on the front of the garment which in turn makes the board short more comfortable in the water.”

That’s fashion with a function right there. That’s what that is.
