FAQs
What does 'PFC Free' mean for these swim shorts?
'PFC Free' means the durable water repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment.
What is the purpose of the 14" outseam?
The 14-inch outseam refers to the length of the shorts from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem along the side. This measurement is designed to provide a youth-appropriate length.
How do I adjust the fit of the waistband?
The shorts feature an elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawstring. Simply pull the drawstring tighter to secure the fit or loosen it for more comfort.
Can these shorts be used for activities other than swimming?
Yes, their quick-drying nature and comfortable fit make them suitable for various beach and poolside activities, including playing in the sand, light sports, or simply relaxing.
What sizes are available for these shorts?
This specific product is listed in Size S, which typically corresponds to UK children's sizes 5-6 years. Other sizes and colors may be available in different listings.
Are the pockets suitable for carrying items securely?
The shorts have two front pockets and one back pocket. While useful for light items, they are not designed for heavy or secure storage during intense activity.
How should I wash these shorts to maintain their water repellency?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Iron on a low setting if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shorts not drying quickly
Ensure the shorts are not overloaded in the washing machine and are not excessively spun. Hang them in a well-ventilated area to air dry.
Waistband feels too loose
Tighten the drawstring securely. Ensure the size selected is appropriate for the child's waist.
Pockets not draining water
Gently shake the shorts to help clear water from the pockets. Ensure pocket openings are not obstructed.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment. If stiffness persists, a low-heat tumble dry might help.
