Full details

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for casual wear?
Yes, their clean straight-leg fit makes them versatile enough to transition from the beach to casual summer settings.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free refers to an environmentally friendly water-repellent treatment that avoids perfluorinated chemicals, which are often harmful to the environment.
How do I determine the right size?
These shorts are listed with a specific waist size in inches (e.g., 28). We recommend measuring your waist at the point where you prefer your shorts to sit.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is not recommended. Air-drying in the shade is the best way to maintain the fabric's integrity and the protective coating.
How long is the 16-inch outseam?
The outseam is measured from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem, resulting in a fit that typically sits above the knee.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels heavy or retains too much water
The hydrophobic coating may be worn down by salt or chemical buildup. Rinse thoroughly and ensure no fabric softener was used in previous washes.
Loose threads appearing on seams
Carefully trim loose threads with scissors. Do not pull them, as this can unravel the stitching integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your board shorts, always rinse them thoroughly in cold, fresh water immediately after swimming in the ocean or a pool to remove salt and chlorine residue. When washing, use a gentle cycle with like colors and avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the hydrophobic treatment. Always hang-dry your shorts in the shade rather than using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers and the water-repellent finish. Check the inner label for the specific waist size (e.g., 28W) to ensure the best fit before purchase.
