FAQs
What does 'PFC-Free Hydrophobic Treatment' mean?
It means the shorts have a water-repellent coating that does not contain perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are considered more environmentally friendly. This coating helps water bead off the fabric, leading to quicker drying times.
What is the outseam length?
The outseam length for this model is 16 inches, providing a mid-thigh coverage.
How do I adjust the fit of the waistband?
The board shorts feature a fixed waist with an adjustable drawcord. You can tighten or loosen the drawcord to achieve your desired fit and ensure the shorts stay securely in place.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these shorts?
No, it is strongly recommended not to use fabric softeners, as they can damage and reduce the effectiveness of the hydrophobic water-repellent coating.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable for general water activities, these board shorts are designed more for casual wear, surfing, and beach sports rather than competitive swimming, which typically requires more streamlined swimwear.
What activities are these board shorts best suited for?
They are ideal for surfing, swimming, beach lounging, paddleboarding, and general casual wear during warm weather or beach vacations.
Troubleshooting
Shorts not drying as quickly as expected
Ensure the shorts are thoroughly rinsed after use to remove any residue that might impede drying. Check if the hydrophobic coating has diminished over time; regular care as per instructions is crucial.
Waistband feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the drawcord for a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the drawcord is tied securely. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate for your waist measurements.
Color fading after a few washes
Always wash in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Follow the machine wash cold, gentle cycle instructions. Use mild detergent.
