FAQs
Are these swim shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
These shorts are designed for comfort and casual use. While they offer good mobility, they may not provide the streamlined fit required for competitive swimming compared to specialized racing suits.
What does 'peached fabric' mean?
Peached fabric has been treated with a process that creates a soft, velvety feel on the surface, similar to the skin of a peach, enhancing comfort.
How do I know if I need a size up or down?
The shorts have a regular fit with an elastic waist and drawcord for adjustability. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a looser or more snug fit. Refer to the model's stats provided in the description for a comparison.
Can I wear these as everyday shorts?
While comfortable, they are primarily designed as swimwear. The quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties are best utilized after water activities. For everyday wear, ensure they are fully dry.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free means the water-repellent finish on the fabric does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often associated with environmental and health concerns. This indicates a more sustainable approach to water repellency.
How deep are the side pockets?
The product description does not specify pocket depth, but they are designed as mesh side pockets for light items.
What is the length of the inseam for size L?
The specific inseam length for size L is not provided in the product details. However, they are described as having a regular fit with a mid rise.
Troubleshooting
Swim shorts feel tight or loose
Adjust the drawcord for a tighter fit. If the overall fit is uncomfortable, consider if a different size or style might be more suitable. Refer to the size chart if available.
Fabric is not drying quickly
Ensure the shorts are not overly saturated with water. Wring out excess water gently before drying. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impede drying capabilities.
Color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Always rinse thoroughly after use in salt or chlorinated water. Wash with cold water and mild detergent, and dry away from direct heat or sun.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust
Ensure the drawcord is not tangled and the eyelets are clear. If it feels stiff, a small amount of water can sometimes help it slide more easily.
