FAQs
What is the material composition of these shorts?
The shorts are made from a quad blend fabric consisting of 64% Polyester, 22% Cotton, 8% Elastane, and 6% Nylon, including recycled polyester and organic cotton.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they feature quick-dry and water-repellent properties, they are designed more for casual wear and light water activities. For extended swimming, dedicated swimwear would be more appropriate.
What does 'Core fit' mean?
'Core fit' typically refers to a standard, regular fit that is neither too tight nor too loose, offering a balanced silhouette and comfort.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Billabong, using your waist measurement. This guide specifies a UK men's waist size of 36.
Can the internal waistband be adjusted?
The Crossfire internal jacquard waistband is part of the design and does not feature external adjustability. The fit relies on the specified waist size.
What is the benefit of the recycled polyester and organic cotton blend?
Using recycled polyester and organic cotton contributes to more sustainable manufacturing practices by reducing reliance on virgin resources and minimizing environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel tight after washing
Check washing and drying temperatures. Avoid high heat drying, as it can cause shrinkage. The fabric has some stretch and should regain shape with wear.
Water is not repelling effectively
Over time, the Micro Repel treatment can wear off. Reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray suitable for synthetic fabrics can help restore this property. Ensure the fabric is clean before reapplication.
Zipped pocket is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth to improve smooth operation.
