FAQs
What does 'PFC-Free Hydrophobic Treatment' mean?
It means the shorts have a water-repellent coating that does not use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), making it an environmentally friendlier option. This treatment helps water bead off the fabric, leading to faster drying.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam is not explicitly stated, but the outseam is 16 inches, providing a moderate length that typically falls above the knee.
How do I choose the right size?
The available size is 32 (UK waist measurement). It's recommended to consult a general size chart for men's waist measurements if unsure, as fit can vary.
Can these be used for regular swimming or just lounging?
Yes, they are designed for active water sports like swimming and surfing, as well as lounging. The secure fit and quick-drying properties make them suitable for active use.
How should I care for the hydrophobic treatment?
Avoid using fabric softeners and bleach. Wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Regular washing according to instructions will help maintain the treatment.
Are these shorts suitable for sensitive skin?
The materials are generally standard for swimwear. The PFC-free treatment is an added benefit for those seeking more environmentally conscious products. If you have specific skin sensitivities, always check material composition.
Troubleshooting
Shorts not drying as quickly as expected.
Ensure the hydrophobic treatment is intact. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can degrade this property. Wash separately if possible.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust or tie.
Check the drawcord for any knots or snags. If the material is new, it may be stiff; repeated use will make it more flexible.
Fit is too loose or too tight at the waist.
The fixed waist offers a specific fit. The drawcord provides some adjustability. For a significantly different fit, consider alternative models with elasticated waistbands or different sizing.
