Shorts feel heavier than expected after swimming.
Ensure shorts are thoroughly rinsed with fresh water after each use to remove excess salt or chlorine, which can weigh down the fabric. Also, check that the fabric is fully dry before storing.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust or stays loose.
Check the drawcord for any knots or snags. If the drawcord material is worn, consider replacing it. Ensure the waistband is not overly stretched.
Zipper on pockets is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and cool water. Allow to dry completely. You can apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the teeth for smoother operation, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants.
