Arguably the best part of summer is spending time outdoors with friends and family. There's no shortage of exciting activities to keep you busy when it's warm outside. Whether your family is into hiking, fishing, boating, or playing sports, you'll want to make sure you have the right clothes to adapt to your activity of choice.

That's where Old Navy's StretchTech activewear line comes in. StretchTech is a special performance fabric that is flexible and breathable, meaning you will stay comfy on even the most blistering August afternoons. It has a four-way stretch that can stand up to an intense two-on-two tennis match, but it's also just as appropriate for lounging in your backyard.

The perks don't stop there, though. StretchTech products are quick drying and offer UV protection. So next time you're going to the beach, pull on a pair over your swimsuit.

The best news? You can outfit your whole family in pieces from the StretchTech collection. There are tons of different styles, from joggers to tanks. The shorts in particular are our favorite picks for the summer staple you can truly do anything in. Check out some StretchTech highlights below.
