FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for professional swimming?

While designed for comfort and durability, these shorts are primarily intended for leisurewear and casual aquatic activities rather than competitive swimming, which often requires specialized performance suits.

What makes the polyamide 'recycled'?

Recycled polyamide is made from post-consumer or post-industrial waste materials that are reprocessed into new nylon fibers, reducing waste and the need for virgin materials.

How do I know if I ordered the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer for precise measurements. The product information indicates this specific item is size XXL (IT54).

Can I machine wash these shorts?

It is strongly recommended to hand wash these shorts to preserve the fabric quality and fit. Machine washing, especially with harsh cycles or high heat, can damage the recycled polyamide.

What is the expected lifespan of these shorts?

With proper care and regular maintenance as outlined in the care instructions, these durable shorts can last for several seasons of moderate use.

Are there other colors available?

This particular listing is for black. Similar styles may be available in other colors from the brand, but availability can vary.

Troubleshooting

Color fading after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cold water. Always air dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight.

Fabric feels stiff or less soft

This can sometimes occur with polyamide. Try rinsing thoroughly with fresh water after use and ensure no detergent residue remains after washing. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the material.

Elastic waistband losing its stretch

Avoid excessive stretching of the waistband when putting on or taking off. Ensure you are following the hand-wash and air-dry instructions carefully, as heat can damage elastic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear swimwear. Ensure correct sizing for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for use in saltwater, freshwater, and chlorinated pools. However, prolonged exposure to high concentrations of chlorine may affect the fabric over time.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the shorts thoroughly with cold, fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
  2. Hand Wash: Wash gently by hand using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  3. Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can damage the fibers.
  4. Dry Flat: Lay the shorts flat in the shade to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or tumble drying, which can fade colors and degrade the material.
  5. Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting on rough surfaces that could snag or damage the fabric.
