Product Information
Full details
The Oakley Baseline Hybrid 21 2.0 Short is designed for active men seeking versatile shorts that can transition from water to land. Its key benefit is the DWR treatment for quick drying and water repellency. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof for extended submersion. Key features include DWR treatment, a reverse coil zipper, and a fixed loop for eyewear storage.

FAQs
What does DWR treatment mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping the garment resist saturation and dry faster.
How do I clean the shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners.
What is the purpose of the fixed loop?
The fixed loop is designed for conveniently storing eyewear, such as sunglasses, when you are not wearing them.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the DWR treatment helps repel water for quick drying, these shorts are designed more for water-repellency and hybrid use rather than prolonged submersion. For extended swimming, dedicated swimwear is recommended.
What is the outseam length?
The shorts have a 21-inch outseam, providing a modern, mid-thigh length.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, it is not recommended to use fabric softener, as it can degrade the DWR treatment and reduce its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Shorts taking too long to dry
Ensure the DWR treatment has not worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment spray. Check that pockets are emptied and the garment is hung to dry properly.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Water is saturating the fabric quickly
The DWR treatment may need reapplication. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners, which can strip the treatment.
