FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming laps?
Yes, though the regular fit is more casual. They work well, but serious lap swimmers might prefer a tighter performance-fit short.
What does the 16 in the product name mean?
The 16 refers to the outseam length in inches, which determines the length of the shorts from the waistband to the bottom hem.
Are the materials truly recycled?
Yes, these shorts are constructed using polyester derived from production scraps and textile waste.
Can I put these in the dryer?
While technically possible, air drying is recommended to maintain the hydrophobic coating and ensure the longevity of the synthetic fibers.
Is the waist adjustable?
The shorts utilize a standard fixed waistband design, typically secured with a drawstring closure.
Are they safe for sensitive skin?
The PFC-free coating is used specifically to reduce environmental and personal chemical exposure, making them a safer choice than traditional coatings.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels heavy or stays wet
The hydrophobic coating may have worn off; ensure you are not using fabric softeners during wash cycles, as they coat the fibers and prevent water repellency.
Salt residue is making the shorts stiff
Soak the shorts in a basin of clean, fresh water for 15 minutes and air dry away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are board shorts, no setup is required beyond ensuring you have the correct waist size. To maintain the integrity of the hydrophobic coating and the polyester fabric, follow these care guidelines: rinse with fresh water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water to remove corrosive deposits. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can strip the hydrophobic finish. Air drying is highly recommended over tumble drying to preserve the life of the material and the water-repellent treatment.
