Full details

FAQs
What does 'PFC-Free Hydrophobic Treatment' mean?
It means the shorts are treated with a coating that repels water without using harmful perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs). This helps the shorts dry faster and feel lighter when wet.
What is the outseam measurement?
The outseam measures 16 inches, which refers to the length of the shorts from the waistband to the hem along the side.
Is there a liner inside the shorts?
This product information does not specify an inner liner. Typically, board shorts of this style may or may not include one.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Refer to the size chart for UK waist measurements. The straight leg fit and drawcord closure offer some flexibility, but selecting the correct waist size is key.
Can these be worn for activities other than swimming?
Yes, the comfortable fit and quick-drying properties make them suitable for various beach and water activities, as well as casual wear.
What material are these shorts made from?
The product information specifies 'SURFSILK' and 'Polyester' for some variants, indicating a blend likely focused on comfort and quick drying.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the drawcord is not tangled. If it persists, gently work it back and forth to loosen any stiffness.
Water is not repelling as effectively.
The hydrophobic treatment may be wearing off. Consider a re-waterproofing spray designed for swimwear or outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions carefully.
