Product Information
Full details
These Quiksilver board shorts are designed for men seeking a blend of classic style and modern performance for beach activities and casual wear. Their key benefit lies in the comfortable, straight-leg fit and the PFC-Free hydrophobic treatment that helps them dry quickly. A potential caveat is the fixed waist, which offers a secure fit but less adjustability than elasticated options.

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 a more environmentally conscious choice. This treatment helps water bead off the fabric, leading to quicker drying.
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
These board shorts feature a 16-inch outseam, which refers to the length from the waistband to the hem along the side.
How should I care for my board shorts to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners and do not iron.
Is the waist adjustable?
Yes, the board shorts have a fixed waist with a drawcord closure, allowing for adjustment to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
What kind of fit do these shorts have?
They feature a straight leg fit, which is designed to be timeless and comfortable, offering a relaxed silhouette.
Are these suitable for swimming and surfing?
Yes, the quick-drying hydrophobic treatment and secure drawcord closure make them suitable for swimming, surfing, and other water activities.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can stiffen the fabric and reduce water repellency. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Drawcord is difficult to tighten or adjust
Ensure the drawcord is not tangled and is threaded correctly through the waistband. If it feels excessively tight, check for any internal bunching.
Water is not beading off as effectively
Over time, the hydrophobic treatment may wear off. Follow care instructions carefully to maximize its lifespan. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment if performance significantly declines.

Care Instructions:
