FAQs

Are these trunks suitable for surfing?

Does the material contain recycled content?

Yes, these trunks are manufactured using recycled materials as part of Helly Hansen's commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Drawstring feels loose during activity

Ensure the knot is tied securely using a double bow or a surgeon's knot for extra tension during heavy water sports.

Saltwater residue makes fabric feel stiff

Soak the garment in fresh water with a small amount of mild fabric conditioner to restore softness to the polyester fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Cascais Trunks, always rinse them in fresh, cold water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to prevent fabric degradation. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and hang to dry away from direct sunlight, which can fade the fabric over time. No complex setup is required; simply adjust the internal drawstring to your preferred tension before wearing.
