Product Information
Full details
These Quiksilver board shorts are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and quick-drying swimwear for beach and surf activities. Their key benefit is the PFC-Free Hydrophobic Treatment, ensuring rapid drying. A potential caveat is the fixed waist, which offers a secure fit but less adjustability than elasticated waists. Features include a timeless straight leg fit, a 16-inch outseam, and a secure drawcord waist closure.

FAQs
What does 'PFC-Free Hydrophobic Treatment' mean?
It means the fabric has been treated to repel water without using harmful perfluorinated chemicals. This helps the shorts dry very quickly.
What is the outseam length of these shorts?
The outseam length is 16 inches.
How do I ensure a secure fit with the drawcord?
Tie the drawcord firmly at the front of the waistband. Ensure it is snug enough to prevent slipping during activity but not so tight as to be uncomfortable.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
These board shorts are designed more for leisure, surf, and beach activities rather than competitive pool swimming, where tighter-fitting jammers are typically preferred.
Can I use these shorts in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, you can use them in a chlorinated pool, but it is highly recommended to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to prevent damage to the fabric and color from the chlorine.
What is the fit like?
They feature a 'Straight Leg Fit', which is a classic, comfortable cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, allowing for good movement.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents. Hang drying in the shade rather than using a high heat dryer can also help maintain fabric softness.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust
Make sure the drawcord is not tangled. If it feels stuck, gently pull and work it through the waistband. Ensure the grommets are clear of debris.
Fading color
This can occur with prolonged exposure to sunlight and chlorine. Always rinse after use, wash with similar colors, and dry in the shade to minimize fading.
