FAQs
What does the 20-inch outseam mean?
The outseam is the length from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem of the shorts. A 20-inch length generally sits right around or just above the knee for most adults.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming in pools?
Yes, they are suitable for pools, but be sure to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to remove chlorine, which can degrade the fabric over time.
What is the material composition?
The shorts are made from a blend of 88% polyester and 12% elastane, providing both durability and stretch.
Does the PFC-free treatment affect the feel of the fabric?
No, the PFC-free hydrophobic treatment is designed to be invisible and does not compromise the softness of the interior fabric.
How should I choose my size?
These shorts follow standard men's UK waist sizing. It is recommended to measure your natural waistline and select the size that matches your measurements for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Hydrophobic coating seems to wear off
Frequent exposure to detergents can reduce water-repellency. Ensure you are using gentle cycles and mild soap, and always rinse thoroughly after salt water exposure.
Fabric feels stiff after drying
This is often due to salt or chlorine build-up. Increase the duration of your fresh water rinse and ensure the shorts are fully submerged to flush out minerals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts come ready to wear with a standard waist fit. To ensure the longevity of the Surfsilk fabric and the effectiveness of the hydrophobic coating, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse after use: Always rinse the shorts thoroughly in fresh, cold water after exposure to salt water or chlorine to remove residue.
- Avoid heat: Do not tumble dry or iron, as high heat can damage the elastane fibers and degrade the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Line dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material integrity.
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent as needed.
