Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are pull-on swim shorts, there is no technical setup required. To maintain the longevity of the polyester fabric, it is recommended to rinse the garment in cold, fresh water immediately after exposure to chlorine or salt to prevent fabric degradation. Always air dry in the shade, as direct sunlight can fade the vibrant blue color over time. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the quick-drying properties of the material.
