Product Information
Full details
The Quiksilver Everyday 16" Swim Shorts are designed for adult men who prioritize comfort and mobility during aquatic activities. Featuring a sustainable recycled polyester construction and a versatile floral pattern, these shorts offer a secure, flexible fit thanks to their semi-elasticated waistband. While they are perfect for casual swimming and beach days, users should note that the 16-inch outseam is shorter than traditional boardshorts, making them better suited for active water sports than long-distance endurance swimming.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for surfing?
Yes, the 16-inch outseam and flexible recycled polyester fabric provide the range of motion necessary for surfing.
Does this model have a liner?
These shorts feature a standard boardshort construction which typically does not include a mesh liner.
How should I measure my waist for these shorts?
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist where the waistband of the shorts will sit, typically just above the hip bone.
Are the materials eco-friendly?
Yes, they are made from recycled polyester and utilize a PFC-free hydrophobic coating to reduce environmental impact.
Can I wear these for casual day-to-day use?
Certainly, the regular fit and floral pattern make them a stylish and comfortable option for casual summer wear outside of the water.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel heavy after being in the water
Ensure you are thoroughly rinsing out pool chemicals or salt deposits, which can trap water in the fibers over time.
Waistband feels too loose during active swimming
The semi-elasticated design is meant for a snug fit; if it remains loose, check if the interior drawstring is properly tied to secure the closure.
Fabric losing its water-repellent performance
Frequent washing with harsh detergents can strip the hydrophobic coating. Try hand washing with mild soap and air drying to restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Quiksilver boardshorts, proper maintenance is essential. Always rinse the shorts thoroughly in fresh, cold water immediately after exposure to salt or chlorine to prevent fabric degradation. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors and avoid using harsh bleach or fabric softeners. Because of the PFC-free water-repellent coating, avoid tumble drying on high heat; air drying in the shade is the best method to preserve the structural integrity and hydrophobic properties of the recycled polyester. Ensure you check the waist size—specifically the 36-inch sizing for this model—to guarantee the semi-elasticated waistband sits comfortably on the hips without slipping.
