FAQs
What is the inseam length for these swim shorts?
All sizes of the Traveler Classic Swim Shorts have a 14.5cm inseam.
Are these swim shorts suitable for ocean swimming?
These shorts are described as suitable for pool swimming. While they can be worn in the ocean, their design is optimized for controlled pool environments.
How do I adjust the fit of the waistband?
The waistband is elasticated and includes a drawstring. You can tie the drawstring to tighten the fit for added security.
What is the primary material of these swim shorts?
The main fabric is a blend of 68% cotton, 27% polyester, and 5% elastane. The lining is 100% polyester.
Does the embroidery on the shorts require special care?
Yes, avoid ironing directly on the embroidered Pony logo. It's best to iron the garment on a low setting, avoiding the embroidered area.
Can I wear these for activities other than swimming?
Yes, the Classic Fit and comfortable fabric make them suitable for general leisure wear around the pool or beach. However, they are primarily designed for swimming.
What does 'Classic Fit' mean for these shorts?
Classic Fit indicates that the shorts come in at the waist and are wide on the leg, offering a traditional and comfortable silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Swim shorts feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the drawstring on the elasticated waistband for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different fit type is needed.
Mesh lining is uncomfortable
Ensure the shorts are properly rinsed after use and that the mesh lining has dried completely. The mesh is designed for support; if discomfort persists, it may be a personal fit preference.
Color fading after washing
Always wash with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying and opt for shade or tumble drying on low heat. Ensure you are not using any bleaching agents.
Pockets feel restrictive
The side welt pockets and back buttoned pocket are designed for minimal items. Avoid overstuffing them to maintain the shorts' shape and comfort.
