FAQs
What does '7"' refer to in the product name?
The '7"' refers to the approximate inseam length of the shorts, measured from the crotch to the hem.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
While they offer good performance for water sports, they are designed more for recreational activities and general comfort rather than the streamlined fit required for competitive racing.
Can I wear these for running or gym workouts?
The quick-drying fabric and stretch make them comfortable for light activities, but they are primarily designed for water-based activities. For intense land-based workouts, specialized athletic wear may be more suitable.
What does 'bluesign® approved material' mean?
It means the material has been produced in a way that minimizes environmental impact, ensures consumer safety, and uses resources responsibly according to strict bluesign® standards.
How do I ensure the longest life for my swim shorts?
Always follow the care instructions, particularly closing the Velcro before washing, using mild soap, avoiding bleach and fabric softener, and air-drying or tumble-drying on low heat.
What is the difference between the outer material and the lining?
The outer material is 100% polyamide for durability and quick-drying properties. The lining is 100% recycled polyester, providing comfort and support against the skin.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring is difficult to adjust
Ensure the drawstring is not twisted and passes freely through the waistband. If it feels stiff, try pulling it back and forth gently.
Back pocket Velcro not sticking securely
Check the Velcro for debris. Gently clean the hooks and loops with a small brush. Ensure it's completely dry before closing.
Shorts feel restrictive after washing
Verify that fabric softener was not used, as it can affect the performance of technical fabrics. Ensure the care instructions were followed precisely.
