FAQs
What does 'PFC-Free Hydrophobic Treatment' mean?
It means the fabric has been treated with a water-repellent finish that does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are harmful to the environment. This treatment helps water bead off the fabric, allowing it to dry faster.
What is the outseam length?
The outseam length is 16 inches, which is a classic mid-thigh length for board shorts.
How do I ensure the best fit with a fixed waist?
Refer to the size chart and measure your waist accurately. The fixed waist combined with a drawcord offers some adjustability, but precise waist measurement is key for a fixed waistband.
Are these suitable for performance surfing?
These board shorts are suitable for general water activities and casual surfing. For highly intense or professional surfing, some athletes may prefer shorts with a longer outseam or more stretch, but the secure fit and quick-drying properties make them functional for recreational use.
Can I wear these as regular shorts?
Yes, the classic design and comfortable fit make them suitable for casual wear on warm days, not just for swimming.
How should I care for these board shorts to maintain their performance?
Rinse with fresh water after each use, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid bleach, high heat, and dry cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Board shorts feel stiff after washing
Ensure you are using cold water for washing and avoid high heat drying. Air drying in a shaded area can help maintain fabric softness.
Drawcord is difficult to tighten or loosen
Check for any knots or tangles in the drawcord. If it feels rough, a small amount of fabric-safe lubricant might help, but avoid using too much.
Color seems faded
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Always wash with like colors and use cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid harsh detergents.
