FAQs
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts feature a regular fit and fixed waist. Measure your natural waistline and refer to standard UK sizing for the best fit.
Are these suitable for casual wear?
Yes, the classic straight-leg design makes them versatile enough for both beach performance and casual summer wear.
What does PFC-Free mean?
PFC-Free refers to a water-repellent coating that does not use perfluorinated chemicals, making it a safer, more environmentally friendly choice.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is highly recommended to hang-dry these shorts to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the hydrophobic treatment.
How short is the 16-inch outseam?
The 16-inch outseam is considered a shorter board short length, typically resting well above the knee.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is stuck or difficult to tighten
Ensure the lace-up closure is free of sand and salt crystals, which can cause friction.
Shorts staying wet for too long
Re-activate the hydrophobic properties by ensuring the garment is washed without heavy detergents and completely dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your board shorts, it is essential to follow proper care instructions. Always rinse your shorts with fresh, cold water immediately after swimming in saltwater or chlorinated pools to prevent fabric degradation. When drying, avoid direct, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, as this can fade colors and weaken the fibers. For cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water and hang to dry. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the hydrophobic treatment from the fabric.
