FAQs
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
The inseam length for these shorts is 5 inches.
Are these shorts suitable for serious swimming or surfing?
While they are designed for water use and dry quickly, they are best suited for casual swimming, bodyboarding, or paddleboarding rather than high-performance surfing which might require a more specialized fit.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the internal drawstring to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Refer to the Patagonia sizing chart for precise measurements.
What does 'DWR' stand for and what does it do?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a treatment applied to the fabric to make water bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry and the fabric from getting waterlogged.
Can I wear these shorts as everyday casual wear?
Yes, their comfortable fit, quick-drying properties, and simple design make them suitable for casual everyday wear, especially in warmer climates or for active lifestyles.
How is the product sustainable?
The shorts are made primarily from 100% recycled nylon taffeta, sourced from recycled fishing nets, and the mesh lining is made from 100% recycled polyester. They are also produced in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
What materials are avoided in the DWR treatment?
The DWR treatment is made without intentionally added PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
Troubleshooting
DWR finish effectiveness decreases
Reapply a DWR treatment after washing according to product instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before treatment.
Waistband drawstring comes untied easily
Tie a secure knot with the drawstring. Consider replacing with a different type of tie if persistent.
Pockets feel restrictive when wet
Ensure mesh corners are clear of debris to facilitate drainage. Squeeze gently to help water escape.
