Product Information
Full details
The Quiksilver Everyday Half Jam 16 Board Shorts are designed for active adult males who value sustainability and functional performance in the water. These shorts offer the key benefit of quick-drying, eco-conscious construction made from 100% recycled polyester, making them ideal for swimming, surfing, or beach activities. A notable caveat is that the 16-inch inseam is shorter than traditional board shorts, which may not provide as much thigh coverage as longer versions for those who prefer more modest lengths.

FAQs
What does the 16 in the product name mean?
The 16 refers to the 16-inch outseam length, which represents a shorter, more modern cut that sits above the knee.
Are these shorts suitable for pool use?
Yes, they are suitable for pool use, but ensure you rinse them with fresh water after swimming to prevent chlorine from breaking down the synthetic fibers.
Is the material stretchy?
These shorts are made from 100% recycled polyester, which provides durability and quick-drying properties rather than high-elasticity stretch.
How should I choose the right size?
These board shorts feature a regular fit; we recommend selecting your standard waist size in inches to ensure the most comfortable fit.
Is the hydrophobic treatment permanent?
The PFC-free hydrophobic treatment will gradually wear off over time and with frequent washing, which is normal for performance board shorts.
Troubleshooting
Shorts staying wet for too long
Ensure that the fabric is thoroughly rinsed of salt or chlorine. If the hydrophobic coating has worn off, washing with residue-free soap may help, though re-application of a water-repellent spray may eventually be necessary.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This is often caused by soap residue. Re-rinse the garment in clean, cold water and ensure it is air-dried properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your board shorts, it is essential to follow proper care guidelines. Always rinse the shorts thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove chemicals and sand. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors, and avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the hydrophobic water-resistant treatment. Line dry the shorts in a shaded area away from direct, harsh sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Do not iron or dry clean this garment.
