FAQs
What does 'PFC-Free Hydrophobic Treatment' mean?
It means the shorts have a water-repellent coating that is free from perfluorinated chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly. Water will bead up and roll off the fabric, helping the shorts dry faster.
What is the best way to clean these board shorts?
Rinse with cold, fresh water after each use. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors, and always hang dry in the shade. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying.
What is the outseam length?
The outseam length is 16 inches. This is a mid-thigh length that provides good coverage without being too long.
How adjustable is the waist?
The waist is fixed but features a drawcord closure, allowing you to adjust the tightness for a secure and personalized fit.
Are these board shorts suitable for surfing?
Yes, the secure drawcord closure and durable fabric make them suitable for surfing and other water sports.
What does 'SURFSILK' refer to?
'SURFSILK' likely refers to the fabric's smooth texture and comfortable feel against the skin, designed for comfort during water activities and casual wear.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Quiksilver sizing chart and measure your waist carefully. The fixed waist means getting the correct size is important for comfort and fit.
Troubleshooting
Board shorts feel stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Hang dry in shade and avoid direct sunlight.
Drawcord is difficult to tighten or keep tied.
Check the drawcord for any fraying or damage. If the fabric is too smooth, tie a double knot. Ensure the waist channel is clear of debris.
Color appears faded.
This can occur with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Always rinse immediately after use and dry in the shade. Consider rotating multiple pairs for extended wear.
Shorts feel tighter than expected.
Double-check the size guide against your measurements. The fixed waist with drawcord offers some adjustability, but the base fit is crucial. Ensure the shorts have been properly rinsed and are not stiff from improper drying.
