FAQs
What does the 16-inch outseam mean?
The outseam measurement refers to the length of the shorts from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem, meaning these fall significantly above the knee.
Are these suitable for casual wear?
Yes, the straight-leg design makes them suitable for beachside wear and casual environments outside of the water.
Does the waistband have any stretch?
No, this model features a fixed waist design for a more traditional and secure surf-fit.
How should I dry these shorts?
Always hang-dry in the shade. Direct sunlight and tumble drying can damage the fabric's technical treatments.
What is PFC-free hydrophobic treatment?
It is a water-repellent coating that is free from perfluorinated chemicals, making it a more environmentally friendly manufacturing process.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight around the waist
Ensure you are using the drawcord to secure the fit, but if the waistband is too restrictive, consider sizing up as these lack elastic stretch.
Water repellency seems to be fading
Wash with mild detergent to remove salt and residue buildup, then air dry completely; if performance does not return, consider a re-application of a DWR spray.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Quick-drying material for all-day comfort
- Environmentally conscious PFC-free coating

- Athletic cut offers excellent mobility
Cons
- Shorter 16-inch outseam may not be preferred by those wanting knee-length coverage
- Fixed waist lacks the adjustability of elastic waistband alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your board shorts, always rinse them thoroughly with fresh water immediately after exposure to salt water or chlorine. Machine wash in cold water using a mild detergent, and always hang-dry them in the shade to maintain the integrity of the hydrophobic coating. Avoid ironing or dry cleaning, as high heat can degrade the specialized technical fabrics. Because these shorts feature a fixed waist, it is recommended to ensure you have selected your correct waist measurement, as there is no elastic stretch to compensate for sizing inaccuracies.
