Full details
The Helly Hansen Newport Board Shorts 8" are designed for adult men who lead an active lifestyle on or near the water, offering a blend of performance and casual comfort. Featuring quick-dry technology and 4-way stretch fabric, these shorts provide excellent freedom of movement for watersports while remaining stylish enough for beachside lounging. While they offer superior versatility and eco-conscious construction, users should note that the regular fit is tailored specifically for a standard build, so those preferring a highly compressed or slim silhouette may find the cut slightly generous.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
Yes, they are specifically designed for watersports and swimming.
How should I measure my waist for these shorts?
Measure around your natural waistline where you intend to wear the shorts and consult the size guide to match your UK waist size.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry them to prolong the life of the stretch material and preserve the fabric integrity.
Is the fabric prone to fading?
While the materials are durable, avoiding prolonged direct sunlight and rinsing after salt exposure will help maintain the color.
What is the length of these shorts?
These shorts feature an 8-inch inseam, which typically hits just above the knee.
Troubleshooting
Waist feels loose during swimming
Ensure the internal drawstring is knotted firmly after adjusting it to your preferred tension.
Fabric feels stiff after air drying
Gently stretch the fabric by hand or give the shorts a quick rinse in clean water; the technical fibers are designed to soften once worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your board shorts maintain their performance, always rinse them in fresh water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove abrasive minerals and chemicals. When washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the technical stretch fibers over time. Hang the shorts to air dry in the shade, as direct, prolonged exposure to intense UV light can cause colors to fade. The adjustable waist allows you to fine-tune the fit upon wearing—simply cinch the internal drawstrings before securing the fly to ensure they stay in place during active movement.
