Full details

Featuring a sophisticated blend of recycled polyester Repreve, upcycled coconut fibers, and cotton, these shorts offer superior maneuverability and quick-drying capabilities.

FAQs
What does the 17.5-inch outseam mean?
The outseam measurement represents the length of the shorts from the top of the waistband down to the bottom hem, meaning these will sit above the knee.
Are these boardshorts suitable for casual wear?
Yes, their quick-drying fabric and modern styling make them suitable for both water activities and casual beach-side environments.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is not recommended. Heat can break down the elastic components of the 4-way stretch fabric. Air drying is always best.
What materials are used in the construction?
The shorts are made from a blend of recycled polyester Repreve, upcycled coconut fibers, and cotton.
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
Because the blend is primarily polyester-based, it is highly resistant to shrinking, provided you follow the cold-wash and air-dry care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding all fabric softeners, which can leave a residue on technical fibers.
Key rope feels tight or frayed
Inspect the internal rope for sand buildup; rinse with fresh water and gently agitate to remove debris that might cause friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the 4-way stretch fibers and the garment's shape, follow these care guidelines:
- Rinsing: Always rinse your boardshorts thoroughly in fresh, cold water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine to prevent fabric degradation.
- Washing: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can interfere with the quick-dry performance.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent color fading, and do not tumble dry as high heat can damage the stretch properties.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before folding or storing to prevent mildew growth within the fabric fibers.
