FAQs

What is the primary use for these shorts?

These shorts are primarily designed for lap swimming and other water-based activities where freedom of movement and minimal drag are desired.

Is the internal pocket suitable for a phone or wallet?

No, the internal mesh pocket is small and not waterproof. It is best suited for small items like a locker key or pool pass.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to Nike's official sizing chart to find your appropriate waist size. The stretch waist and adjustable drawstring allow for a personalized and secure fit.

Can I machine wash and dry these shorts?

It is recommended to hand wash these shorts in cold water and air dry them. Machine washing and especially machine drying can damage the fabric and elasticity over time.

Are these shorts quick-drying?

Yes, as swimwear, they are designed to dry relatively quickly after being out of the water, especially when air-dried.

What is the inseam length of these shorts?

These are 5-inch volley shorts, meaning they have a 5-inch inseam, offering an extra-short cut.

Are these shorts suitable for casual wear outside of swimming?

While functional, their extra-short length and simple style make them primarily suitable for swimming and beach activities rather than general casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too loose or keep slipping down

Ensure the outer drawstring is tightly secured and tied. If the issue persists, consider checking the sizing guide for a smaller size based on your waist measurement.

Internal pocket contents are getting wet

The internal mesh pocket is designed for items like keys or a pool pass, not to be waterproof. For electronics or items sensitive to water, use a dedicated waterproof pouch.

Mesh brief feels uncomfortable or chafes

Ensure the shorts are the correct size and the mesh brief is not twisted. Rinse thoroughly after use to remove chlorine which can irritate skin. If irritation persists, check for material sensitivities.

Wearing:

  1. Pull the shorts on.
  2. Adjust the outer drawstring at the waist for a snug yet comfortable fit.
  3. Ensure the built-in mesh brief sits correctly for optimal support and comfort.

Care:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the shorts thoroughly with cold, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, or body oils.
  2. Hand Wash Recommended: For best longevity, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  3. No Machine Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the shorts to air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Direct sunlight or high heat can damage the fabric and elastic.
  4. Do Not Iron: Ironing is not recommended as it can damage the synthetic fabric.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
