Quiksilver Kids Everyday Volley 14" Swim Shorts - Orange - Size: 3 years/4 years/2 years

These shorts are specifically designed for kids, with sizing typically ranging from toddler to pre-teen. The product information indicates sizes like 'XS' corresponding to UK children's sizes 3-4, 9-10, etc.

'PFC Free' means the durable water repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly alternatives.

The shorts have a 14-inch outseam, which refers to the length of the short from the waistband to the hem along the side.

These shorts are designed for casual wear and recreational swimming. For competitive swimming, specialized racing suits are generally recommended.

While comfortable for light activity like playing on the beach, they are primarily designed for water-based activities. For intense sports, consider apparel made with moisture-wicking fabrics specifically for those sports.

Refer to the size chart provided by Quiksilver, paying close attention to the specific measurements for waist and length, as well as the corresponding age and UK size ranges.

The shorts are made from 100% Polyester.

Ensure the shorts are fully rinsed of any residue (salt, chlorine) and are not overloaded in the dryer. Check that the fabric is not excessively worn, which can affect drying time.

While the waistband is elastic, it is not adjustable. For a snugger fit, consider pairing with a swim top or ensuring the correct size was selected based on measurements.

Over time and with many washes, DWR treatments can diminish. Ensure you are following care instructions precisely. Avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the DWR finish.
