FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
Yes, they are designed as hybrid shorts suitable for both in-water use and land-based activities.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
The shorts use a fixed waist measurement. Please consult your standard trousers size (e.g., 34 inch) to match the waist sizing provided.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these?
It is not recommended, as fabric softeners can leave a residue that interferes with the O Protect DWR water-repellent properties.
What is the purpose of the loop on the shorts?
The fixed loop is specifically engineered to safely and securely store your eyewear when you are not wearing them.
Do these shorts have a liner?
These shorts are designed as versatile hybrid outerwear; please check the specific product tag, as hybrid models typically prioritize casual utility over internal liners.
What does the 21 in the name refer to?
The 21 refers to the 21-inch length of the shorts, which provides extended coverage.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems less effective
Ensure the shorts are thoroughly rinsed and cleaned, as salt or laundry detergent residue can mask the DWR performance.
Zipper feels stiff or resistant
Check the zipper track for sand or debris. Rinse with fresh water and allow it to dry before operating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the O Protect DWR treatment, always follow the garment's internal care label. Rinse the shorts with fresh water after exposure to chlorine or salt water to prevent mineral buildup and fabric degradation. When laundering, wash in cold water with similar colors and avoid the use of harsh fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent finish. For the best maintenance, air dry the shorts rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, as excessive heat can compromise the integrity of the synthetic fibers and the zipper mechanism.
