Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for intense lap swimming?

While durable, they are primarily designed as lifestyle swimwear rather than high-performance athletic gear.

What does ECONYL mean?

ECONYL is a type of regenerated nylon created from recycled waste like fishing nets and industrial plastic, offering the same quality as virgin nylon.

Can I iron the shorts?

Avoid ironing, as the heat can compromise the synthetic nylon material and the unique garment-dyed finish.

Will the color fade?

Stone Island garment-dyed products are designed to develop a unique patina over time. Proper care will slow this process.

How do I ensure the right fit?

These are European-sized garments. Refer to the size guide for your specific waist measurements to ensure a proper fit.

Is the fabric waterproof?

The fabric is water-resistant and quick-drying, but it is not intended to be fully waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Color appears uneven after washing

This is often a result of the garment-dyeing process. Always use a gentle cycle and avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the consistency of the dye.

Fabric feels stiff after swimming

Thoroughly rinse the garment in fresh water to remove salt or chlorine deposits and allow it to air dry naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Stone Island swim shorts, follow these guidelines:

  1. Rinsing: Always rinse in cold, fresh water immediately after exposure to salt or chlorine to prevent fabric degradation.
  2. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy-duty chemical detergents.
  3. Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the structural integrity of the recycled nylon fibers.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure they are completely dry before folding to prevent moisture buildup.
