FAQs

What material are the Nike Swim Contend 5 Boxer Volley Shorts made of?

The main body is made of 92% recycled polyester and 8% spandex. The liner is made of 92% polyester and 8% spandex.

How do I care for these swim shorts?

Rinse with cold water after use. Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors using a mild detergent. Hang dry and do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry.

What is the inseam length?

These shorts have a 5-inch inseam.

Does this product come in other colors?

Based on the provided information, this specific model is available in Grey. Check retailer listings for potential color variations in other product lines.

Is the boxer liner removable?

No, the built-in boxer liner is integrated and not removable. It is designed to provide support and reduce chafing.

Can I use these for running or training?

While designed for swimming and water activities, the quick-drying fabric and comfortable liner may make them suitable for some dry-land training where moisture management is beneficial, though they are optimized for wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel restrictive during movement.

Ensure the waistband drawcord is properly adjusted and not overly tightened. The stretchy fabric should allow for natural movement.

Chafing occurs despite the boxer liner.

Verify the boxer liner is sitting correctly and providing support. Ensure the shorts are the correct size and not too tight.

Dri-FIT technology seems less effective.

Rinse the shorts thoroughly after each use. Ensure no residue from detergents or pool chemicals is trapped in the fabric. Check care label instructions for washing.

Interior pocket feels insecure for items.

The interior pocket is designed for small, lightweight items like keys. For larger or valuable items, consider alternative secure storage.
