When your day starts on the job site and ends at the beach, you need workwear that can keep up—and the FXD LS1 Shorts are built to do exactly that. Designed to feel as lightweight and comfortable as your favourite board shorts while still delivering the durability needed for tough work environments, these shorts are the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and everyday versatility.
Made from ultra-light 3.6oz / 125gsm Taslon fabric, the LS1 Shorts are designed to keep you cool and comfortable during long days in warm conditions. The lightweight construction allows excellent freedom of movement, while the fit sits comfortably on the waist and finishes above the knee for a relaxed, modern look that works just as well off-site as it does on-site.
Despite their lightweight feel, the FXD LS1 Shorts are built tough where it matters most. Featuring DURA500 reinforced pockets, double-layer internal pocket bags, triple-needle stitching, and reinforced bar-tacked stress points, these shorts are designed to handle demanding tasks and everyday wear without compromising comfort.
Practicality is built into every detail, with multiple utility pockets providing convenient storage for tools, keys, phones, and work essentials. The durable YKK nylon zip fly ensures smooth and reliable performance day after day, whether you’re working hard or heading out after knock-off.
For outdoor workers, the LS1 Shorts also provide certified 50+ UVA and UVB sun protection, helping shield you from harsh Australian conditions while working outdoors, travelling, or enjoying weekends in the sun.
What makes the FXD LS1 Shorts stand out is their effortless transition from work to lifestyle wear. They’re especially popular among tradies, landscapers, carpenters, labourers, painters, plasterers, warehouse workers, outdoor crews, and active professionals who want work shorts that don’t feel heavy or restrictive.
Perfect for construction sites, workshops, outdoor jobs, summer workdays, camping trips, fishing weekends, beach outings, and casual everyday wear, these shorts are designed for people who value comfort just as much as performance.
And don’t just take our word for it. Andrew, a plasterer from Bar Beach, Newcastle, sums it up perfectly:
“FXD shorts are wicked! I take my surfboard to work and head straight to the beach when I finish work. Don’t even need to get changed!”
That’s exactly what the FXD LS1 Shorts are all about—gear that works hard on-site while fitting seamlessly into life after work.
You can purchase the FXD LS1 Shorts both online and in-store at Thread and Ink Cessnock, making it easy to grab lightweight workwear designed for the Australian lifestyle.
Comfortable, durable, lightweight, and versatile, the FXD LS1 Shorts are the ultimate work-to-play shorts for tradies who don’t slow down when the workday ends.
