Full details
These Quiksilver board shorts are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and functional swimwear for water sports.

FAQs
What does 'PFC-free hydrophobic treatment' mean?
It means the water-repellent coating does not contain perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are considered more environmentally friendly. This treatment helps water bead off the fabric.
How does the Surfsilk fabric perform in water?
Surfsilk is designed for performance in water. It offers excellent stretch, is quick-drying, and uses a sustainable blend of recycled polyester and elastane.
Are these suitable for chlorine pools?
While designed for saltwater and general water activities, prolonged exposure to chlorine might affect the fabric and color over time. Rinsing with fresh water after pool use is recommended.
What is the main benefit of the 4-way stretch?
The 4-way stretch allows the fabric to move and stretch in all directions, providing maximum comfort and freedom of movement for activities like surfing or swimming.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available online, and measure your waist to find the best fit. The product information specifies a UK waist size of 30 for this particular variant.
Can these board shorts be worn for casual activities?
Yes, their comfortable fit, quick-drying properties, and stylish design make them suitable for casual wear at the beach or poolside.
What is the material composition?
The fabric is a blend of 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Board shorts feel stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using cold water and avoiding harsh detergents. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat drying.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The PFC-free hydrophobic treatment may need refreshing. Consider using a PFC-free waterproofing spray designed for apparel, following the spray's application instructions.
Drawstring is difficult to tie or comes undone.
Ensure the drawstring ends are not frayed. If they are, trim them neatly. For better grip, ensure the drawstring is fully dry before tying.
Color fading over time.
Wash inside out in cold water and use mild detergents. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
