Cranky Crocs Footy Shorts

Get Ready for Aussie Adventure with Cranky Croc’s Footy Shorts! 🐊

If you’re the kind of person who’s always heading out for a weekend camping trip, hitting the gym, or jumping in the boat for a fish, then you already know the importance of a good pair of shorts. And not just any shorts, we’re talking the kind that can take a beating, dry fast, look good, and keep your valuables safe with zipper pockets.

That’s exactly what you get with Cranky Croc’s Footy Shorts.

These shorts aren’t just clothing. They’re part of your adventure uniform. Built tough, built comfy, and built for the great outdoors the Cranky Croc way.

Let’s dive into what makes them the best choice for legends who love the outdoors.

Why Cranky Croc Footy Shorts Are a Game-Changer

Let’s kick things off with the basics, these Footy Shorts are designed to be your go-to for everything. Training? Sorted. Fishing? Too easy. Camping? They’re practically made for it. Swimming? Yep, jump straight in and dry fast once you get out!

Made for the Aussie lifestyle

Australia’s got a vibe all of its own. Rugged bushland, sunny beaches, backyard BBQs, footy fields and fishing boats everywhere. So your shorts need to keep up with heat, humidity, water, movement and whatever chaos your adventures bring.

That’s where these Footy Shorts shine. They’re lightweight, durable, breathable and quick drying. Perfect for warm days, sweaty workouts, and spontaneous dips in the river.

The zipper pockets make them unbeatable

One of the standout features and the feature that truly makes these Footy Shorts with pockets legendary is the zipper pockets.

Two of them.
Deep. Secure. Tough.
A total game changer.

If you’ve ever been on a boat and watched someone’s keys or phone slip into the ocean… well, trauma builds wisdom. With zipper pockets, you don’t have to stress. Your valuables stay right where you put them. Just don't fall in yourself, then you'll be in strife! 

The product page for the Crocodile Dreaming edition sums it up perfectly:

  • “2 x zipper pockets for secure storage… perfect for training, swimming, camping, or casual wear.”

That’s exactly what every outdoor-loving Aussie needs.

Tough fabric that lasts

The shorts are made from 100% polyester, a fabric known for durability, quick drying, flexibility, and comfort. It’s the same kind of material used in high-performance sportswear because it handles sweat, movement and moisture like a champ.

The roomy fit, elastic waistband and strong drawstring mean they’re comfy enough for lazy arvos but sturdy enough for serious activities.

Plus, they’re unisex, so anyone can rock them.

Designed for people who live outdoors

Cranky Croc isn’t just a camping and clothing brand. It’s a lifestyle brand for people who love the outdoors, love a bit of cheekiness, and don’t mind getting dirty, salty or sweaty.

The colours and designs of our Footy Shorts reflect that. Bold, outdoorsy and unapologetically Aussie. And for those who want something with deeper meaning and vibrant artistry, the collaboration with Indigenous artist Jasmine Lyn hits the sweet spot.

Perfect for Every Activity You Can Throw at Them

The beauty of these Aussie Footy Shorts is how versatile they are. Let’s break down the top occasions where they absolutely shine:

Camping

Setting up camp. Grabbing firewood. Ducking in and out of the tent. Climbing into the swag. Exploring the creek. These shorts do it all.

Lightweight, breathable, easy to move in — plus secure pockets for multitasking campers.

Outdoor Adventures

Bushwalks, bike rides, paddling, climbing over rocks, sitting by waterfalls — you name it. Quick-drying fabric comes in clutch if you get splashed or sweaty.

Training & Gym Workouts

Whether it’s weights, cardio, footy conditioning, the fit and feel of these shorts are perfect for training. Not too heavy, not flimsy, not restrictive, just right.

Fishing

Fishing fans, listen up. These might be the only shorts you ever want to fish in again.

  • Quick dry ✔️

  • Flexible movement ✔️

  • Zipper pockets so your phone doesn’t fall into the water ✔️✔️✔️

Seriously — that feature alone makes these shorts a fishing essential.

Swimming

Yep, they can double as swim shorts. Dive in, hop out, dry fast, and keep moving. Perfect for beach days, river dips and boat life.

Chilling Out

From backyard BBQs to lazy Sundays to chilling out at camp — these shorts work for downtime just as well as adventure time.
