Nepenthes Cargo Shorts – Shoyoroll x Nepenthes Canvas Cargo Shorts

Meet the Nepenthes Cargo Shorts, a pair of easy cargo shorts with real jiu-jitsu roots. They come from the Shoyoroll x Nepenthes collab. Because they feel relaxed and tough, they quickly become your go-to pair off the mats.

Good casual shorts do a few simple things well. First, they feel comfortable all day. Second, they hold your phone and keys. Finally, they look good, and the canvas shorts tick all three boxes.

A Closer Look at the Nepenthes Cargo Shorts

These details catch the eye right away:

• Black body
• Purple tie-dye Nepenthes and Shoyoroll patches
• Purple circle logo on the leg

Its original Shoyoroll product name was “Nepenthes Cargo Shorts”. Because Shoyoroll and Nepenthes ran this collab in small numbers, pairs like these rarely come back. So if you like the look, it pays to grab one early.

Build and Fabric Notes

The key build points are simple:

• Easy, relaxed fit
• Drawstring waist you can adjust
• Handy cargo pocket on the side
• Tough 10 oz cotton canvas

All in all, they give you a tough, relaxed feel for warm days.

Everyday Life in the Nepenthes Cargo Shorts

Think about the time you spend off the mats. You still drive, wait, travel and relax. The canvas shorts make those hours more comfortable. Plus, the relaxed fit and side pocket make them easy to wear all summer.

Are the Nepenthes Cargo Shorts Right for You?

These shorts suit anyone who loves jiu-jitsu culture. For example, a new white belt gets a fun way to rep the sport, while a black belt gets a rare collab piece. Also, collectors love Shoyoroll drops because each batch has a short run. So whether you train once a week or every day, they fit right into your wardrobe.

Easy to Style

Casual shorts look best with simple tops. So try them with a plain tee or a Shoyoroll hoodie, and then let the patches do the talking. On the other hand, a rashguard works well for beach days. Also, they pack easily for trips to tournaments.

Finding the Right Fit

We stock these shorts in sizes XS to 3XL. Most people order their normal waist size for a relaxed look. However, if you sit between sizes, go up one size. If you are still unsure, send us your waist size, so we can help you pick.

Washing and Care

• First, wash them inside out on a cool cycle.
• Then choose a gentle, mild detergent.
• Also, avoid softener, since it can trap smells.
• Finally, dry them flat or on a hanger, never on high heat.

If you follow these steps, your shorts will look new for many seasons.
