FAQs
What does 'Surfsilk' mean?
Surfsilk is Quiksilver's proprietary fabric technology that blends recycled polyester and elastane to provide a soft feel, 4-way stretch, and durability, while also being environmentally conscious.
Are these board shorts quick-drying?
Yes, due to the water-repellent treatment and the polyester blend, these board shorts are designed to dry quickly after use.
What is the benefit of the PFC-free treatment?
PFC-free treatments are more environmentally friendly. They help the fabric repel water without using potentially harmful perfluorinated chemicals.
Can I wear these for activities other than surfing?
Absolutely. The comfort and stretch make them suitable for swimming, paddleboarding, beach volleyball, or simply as comfortable casual wear on warm days.
How do I know if size 38 is right for me?
Size 38 typically refers to a men's waist measurement. It's recommended to check a sizing chart or measure your waist circumference to ensure a proper fit.
What is the length of these board shorts?
The product description does not specify the exact length (e.g., inseam or outseam). However, Quiksilver board shorts often come in various lengths; this specific model's length would need to be verified through additional product details or by checking the garment itself.
What is the warranty on these board shorts?
The provided information does not include warranty details. Please refer to the retailer or Quiksilver's official website for warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
The PFC-free hydrophobic treatment can diminish over time. Try a low-heat tumble dry or a specialized fabric refresher spray designed to restore water repellency. Ensure no fabric softeners were used during washing, as they can impede water repellency.
Stitching coming undone
Inspect the stitching. For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. If significant stitching is unraveling, contact Quiksilver customer support for potential warranty or repair options.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with technical fabrics. Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents. A low-heat tumble dry can sometimes help soften the fabric.
