FAQs
What is the inseam measurement?
The inseam measures 5 inches.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable and functional for general swimming, these are basic volley shorts and may not offer the hydrodynamic advantages of specialized competitive swimwear.
Can I wear these as regular athletic shorts?
Yes, their lightweight and quick-drying material make them suitable for casual athletic activities and lounging, though they lack the compression or specific features of dedicated training shorts.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart provided with the product listing. It's often recommended to consider your waist measurement and compare it to the chart. If you are between sizes, many users find sizing down provides a more secure fit due to the adjustable drawstring.
What material are the shorts made from?
The shorts are made from 100% polyester.
Do these shorts have a liner?
Yes, they feature a built-in mesh brief for support and comfort.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
Rinse after each use and avoid fabric softeners and high heat when drying. Washing on a gentle cycle with like colors and air drying or tumble drying on low is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the drawstring waistband for a more secure and comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consult the size chart for potential exchanges.
Pockets do not drain effectively.
Ensure the mesh pocket bags are not inverted or obstructed. Rinse the pockets thoroughly to clear any debris that may be blocking drainage.
Water repellency seems reduced.
Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents during washing, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish over time. Consider a specialized water-repellent treatment if needed.
