FAQs

What does the 16-inch outseam mean?

The outseam measurement refers to the total length of the shorts from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem, which in this case is 16 inches.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

Yes, they are designed specifically for watersports, swimming, and surfing, using hydrophobic materials.

What is SURFSILK fabric?

SURFSILK is a proprietary Quiksilver fabric blend known for being highly durable, resistant to tearing, and soft against the skin.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and always hang dry to maintain the integrity of the water-resistant treatment.

Is the waist elasticated?

No, these shorts feature a fixed waist with a drawstring closure for a more secure, traditional fit.

What does PFC-Free mean?

PFC-free indicates the water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, making the production process more environmentally friendly.

Troubleshooting

Drawcord feels loose in the water

Ensure you are using a secure double-knot when tightening the drawcord before entering the water.

Fabric loses water-repellent effect

Thoroughly rinse salt or detergent residue from the shorts and ensure they are air-dried completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick-drying material reduces time spent in wet clothing
  • High-quality SURFSILK fabric is durable yet comfortable
  • Secure drawcord closure prevents shifting in heavy surf
  • Environmentally conscious PFC-free water-repellent coating

Cons

  • 16-inch length may be shorter than standard board shorts
  • Fixed waist lacks the flexibility of elasticated waistbands
  • Limited leg coverage compared to 20-inch styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your SURFSILK Kaimana shorts, rinse them thoroughly with fresh water immediately after exposure to salt or chlorine. This prevents the buildup of residue that can degrade the fabric's technical treatments. When washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid heavy detergents. Hang dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, as high heat and UV rays can break down the hydrophobic coating over time. The shorts are designed with a standard 30-inch waist to fit true to size for adult males.
