Bodhi Short Fabric and Fit: What to Expect from Each Colorway

Quick answer

The Bodhi Short - Grey and Bodhi Short - Black share the same 4-way stretch, quick-dry, wrinkle-resistant fabric and hybrid design, so the only real difference is color. Fit and sizing are identical across both. If you want a liner with the Joey Pouch®, choose a Juicy 2 in 1 Short instead. For a lighter, drawcord feel, consider the Paradise Short - Savary Blue.

Choosing between Bodhi Short colorways comes down to one thing: color. The fabric, fit, and sizing are the same whether you pick grey or black. That makes the decision simple once you know what the short actually delivers.

This comparison breaks down the Bodhi Short material, fit, and sizing, then explains when a different 2UNDR short makes more sense. It uses only supplied catalog facts, so you can trust the details and spot what the catalog does not specify.

Bodhi Short fabric: what the material actually does

Both Bodhi Short colorways use a quick-dry, wrinkle-resistant 4-way stretch material made from a polyester blend partially derived from discarded water bottles. That combination matters for two reasons. Quick-dry and wrinkle resistance keep the short presentable from a morning round to an evening out, while 4-way stretch lets it move without restriction. The recycled content is a practical bonus, not a gimmick.

The catalog describes the Bodhi as a multi-functional hybrid short: think standard golf short with extra capability. It is designed for links, downtown drinks, and everything in between. Because the fabric is the same across colorways, your choice of grey or black does not change performance, drying time, or stretch.

• Quick-dry and wrinkle-resistant fabric suits all-day wear and travel.
• 4-way stretch supports golf swings, walking, and casual movement.
• Polyester blend is partially derived from discarded water bottles.

Bodhi Short fit and sizing: what to expect

The Bodhi Short is available in Size options only. The catalog does not list a specific inseam, rise, or leg opening, so if you prefer a precise measurement, check the size chart before ordering. What the catalog does confirm is that the short is built for comfort, fit, and style in one package, with the same cut across grey and black.

Because both colorways share the same pattern, your usual size should perform the same in either. If you are between sizes, the 4-way stretch gives some forgiveness, but the waistband and overall fit are not described as adjustable. That is a limitation to weigh if you like a customizable waist.

• Available in Size options; no inseam or rise is specified in the catalog.
• Same fit across grey and black, so sizing carries over between colorways.
• No adjustable waist is mentioned, so rely on the size chart for a precise fit.

Grey vs black: the only real difference

The Bodhi Short - Grey and Bodhi Short - Black are identical in fabric, fit, and features. The trade-off is purely visual. Grey reads more casual and shows less lint than black, while black hides minor stains and pairs easily with darker tops. Neither color changes the quick-dry, wrinkle-resistant performance.

If you already own one colorway, adding the other gives you a two-short rotation without relearning fit or care. That is the practical reason to choose a color rather than a different model: you get the same hybrid short in a second look.

• Grey is a lighter neutral; black is a darker, more forgiving neutral.
• No performance difference between colorways.
• Buying both creates a simple two-short rotation.

When a different 2UNDR short fits better

If you want a built-in liner with the patented Joey Pouch®, the Juicy 2 in 1 Short is the better match. It uses high-grade, quick-drying materials and is designed for poolside lounging and pickleball courts, with the liner cradling your assets. The trade-off is that the Juicy is a 2-in-1 design, not the hybrid golf-short style of the Bodhi.

If you prefer a lighter, drawcord short with a Cloud2UNDR fabric feel, the Paradise Short - Savary Blue offers an elastic waistband and a zippered back pocket. It is 87% polyester and 13% spandex, so it stretches, but it does not carry the Bodhi's recycled-content or wrinkle-resistant story. Choose based on whether you want a liner, a drawcord, or the Bodhi hybrid.

• Juicy 2 in 1 Short adds a Joey Pouch® liner for pool and court use.
• Paradise Short - Savary Blue uses Cloud2UNDR fabric with a drawcord and zip pocket.
• Bodhi remains the hybrid option for golf and mixed daily wear.

Trade-offs to weigh before you buy

• Fabric performance vs. liner support: The Bodhi Short gives you quick-dry, wrinkle-resistant 4-way stretch, but it does not include a Joey Pouch® liner. The Juicy 2 in 1 Short includes that liner but is not a hybrid golf short. Pick Bodhi for hybrid versatility; pick Juicy for built-in support.
• Color choice vs. feature choice: Grey and black Bodhi Shorts are identical in fabric and fit. Choosing a color does not change performance, so do not expect a different feel from one colorway to the other. Choose based on wardrobe, not function.
• Hybrid structure vs. drawcord ease: The Bodhi is a multi-functional hybrid short. The Paradise Short - Savary Blue uses Cloud2UNDR fabric with an elastic waistband and drawcord, which is a different feel and adjustment style. If you want a drawcord and zip pocket, look at Paradise instead.

Who should choose which

Best for

• Golfers and casual wearers who want one hybrid short for the course and downtown.
• Anyone who values quick-dry, wrinkle-resistant fabric for travel or long days.
• Shoppers deciding between grey and black who want identical fit and performance.

Not for

• Anyone who wants a built-in Joey Pouch® liner; choose a Juicy 2 in 1 Short instead.
• Shoppers who prefer a drawcord waist and zippered back pocket; choose the Paradise Short - Savary Blue.
• Buyers who need a specified inseam or rise; the catalog does not list those measurements.

The Bodhi Short - Grey and Bodhi Short - Black are the same short in two colors, so your decision is about wardrobe, not performance. If you want a hybrid golf short with quick-dry, 4-way stretch fabric, either works. If you need a liner or a drawcord, look at the Juicy 2 in 1 Short or Paradise Short - Savary Blue instead.
