FAQs
What is Ecolast+™ fabric?
Ecolast+™ fabric is a sustainable material used by Zoggs, made from 55% recycled polyester and 45% polyester P.B.T. It incorporates REPREVE® yarn, which is produced from recycled plastic waste. This fabric offers excellent chlorine resistance and shape retention.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The shorts feature an internal drawstring that allows you to adjust the waist for a secure and personalized fit. Ensure the drawstring is tied appropriately before swimming.
Are these suitable for competitive swimming?
While designed for comfort and durability, their 29cm leg length and classic aquashort style are more suited for fitness and leisure swimming rather than high-performance competitive racing.
Can I use these in the ocean?
Yes, the UPF 50+ sun protection makes them ideal for ocean swimming. Remember to rinse them with fresh water after use to remove salt and sand.
How should I wash these swim shorts?
It is recommended to hand wash the shorts in cold, fresh water after each use. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry. Dry them flat in the shade.
What does '100% chlorine resistant' mean for durability?
This means the fabric is designed to withstand prolonged exposure to pool chlorine without losing its color, shape, or elasticity, ensuring a longer lifespan for the swimwear.
Do these have a liner?
Yes, the Zoggs Cottesloe Hip Racers feature a front lining for added comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Swim shorts feel too loose
Tighten the internal drawstring to achieve a more secure fit. Ensure you have selected the correct waist size.
Fabric color fading
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after each use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
Reduced elasticity or stretching
Ensure the shorts are rinsed thoroughly after every swim. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as heat and harsh detergents can degrade the fabric.
