FAQs
What does 'PFC-Free Hydrophobic Treatment' mean?
It means the shorts are treated with a water-repellent finish that does not use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), making it an environmentally friendlier option. Water will bead up and roll off the fabric.
How do I determine my correct waist size?
The size '36' refers to the UK men's waist size. It's recommended to measure your waist circumference and compare it to a standard men's sizing chart for accuracy.
Can these shorts be worn for swimming laps?
While they are suitable for general swimming, the straight leg fit and outseam length are designed more for recreational and water sports activities rather than competitive lap swimming.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the quick-drying hydrophobic fabric makes them comfortable for hot weather and reduces the feeling of being damp.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length is not explicitly stated, but the 16" outseam suggests a shorter to mid-thigh length depending on the wearer's inseam.
How should I store the board shorts when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before long-term storage to prevent mildew.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord not tightening effectively
Ensure the drawcord is threaded correctly through the eyelets. If the cord is frayed, consider replacing it.
Fabric feels stiff after drying
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the hydrophobic treatment. Ensure shorts are fully rinsed before washing.
Color fading after multiple washes
Wash in cold water, turn shorts inside out before washing, and dry in the shade. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
