These shorts offer the key benefit of high-performance, quick-drying fabric equipped with UPF 50+ sun protection, making them ideal for long days outdoors.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense swimming?
Yes, they are made from durable, chlorine-resistant material suitable for frequent swimming, though they are designed with a relaxed board short fit rather than a hydrodynamic racing cut.
Do these shorts have a built-in liner?
The product features a standard board short design; please check the internal garment tag for specific lining details.
Can I wear these for hiking?
Absolutely. Their lightweight, quick-dry material makes them a popular choice for warm-weather hiking and outdoor walking.
How do I ensure the right size?
The shorts follow standard UK dress sizing. Refer to the size guide for a 16 to ensure a comfortable fit around the waist.
Will the UPF protection wash off?
The UPF 50+ rating is a feature of the fabric construction. Proper rinsing and avoiding harsh detergents will help maintain the rating throughout the life of the product.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord feels stuck or difficult to pull.
Check for salt crystallization around the waistband cord. Soak in fresh water and gently massage the fabric to loosen residue.
Fabric is taking longer than usual to dry.
Ensure you are not wearing the shorts under non-breathable layers. If residue from soap or detergents remains in the fabric, it can trap moisture; rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the shorts is as simple as adjusting the integrated drawcord waistband for a secure fit before you head out. To ensure the longevity of the UPF protection and the fabric's durability, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the shorts in fresh cold water after swimming in a chlorinated pool or the ocean to remove salt and chemical residue.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the quick-dry coating and damage the UV-resistant properties.
- Drying: Hang-dry the shorts in a shaded area. While the fabric is sun-resistant, direct long-term exposure to intense midday sun can cause fabric stiffening over time.
- Storage: Ensure the garment is completely dry before folding and packing it away to prevent mildew.
