FAQs
What activities are these swim shorts best suited for?
They are ideal for sailing, water sports like paddleboarding and kayaking, swimming, and general beach or summer activities due to their quick-drying and stretchy material.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable for recreational swimming, their cut and features are more geared towards active water sports and casual wear rather than competitive pool swimming, which often requires specialized suits.
What does 'bluesign® certified' mean for the material?
It means the main material used in the shorts meets stringent environmental, consumer safety, and resource efficiency standards set by the bluesign® system, ensuring a more sustainable product.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Helly Hansen apparel. The shorts have an elastic waist and drawstring for adjustability, but selecting the correct waist and hip measurement is recommended for optimal fit.
Can I wear these without underwear?
Yes, the shorts feature an integrated lining designed to be worn without separate underwear for comfort and support.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length (CB inseam) is 17.5 cm, which corresponds to a 7-inch inseam.
Troubleshooting
Swim shorts do not feel secure despite the drawstring.
Ensure the drawstring is fully tightened and knotted securely. Check that the elastic waistband has not lost its elasticity over time; if so, consider replacement.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes happen with quick-drying synthetic fabrics. Ensure you are using a mild soap and avoid fabric softener. If stiffness persists, try a second rinse cycle.
Velcro on the back pocket is not holding securely.
Clean the velcro strips of any lint or debris. If the velcro is worn out, it may need to be professionally repaired or replaced.
