FAQs
What makes these board shorts sustainable?
These board shorts are made from REPREVE traceable, recycled 4-way stretch polyester, which is derived from plastic bottles. This process helps reduce waste and conserve resources.
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
These are described as 'Wave 2 Inch Boardshorts,' indicating a short length, typically around a 2-inch inseam.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The shorts feature a fully elasticated waistband with a drawcord, allowing for adjustment. Check the sizing chart for the best fit based on your measurements, and use the drawcord to secure them during activity.
Are these suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable for recreational swimming, these board shorts are designed more for beach and surf activities rather than competitive swimming, which often requires specialized performance suits.
Can I wear these as regular shorts?
Yes, their comfortable fabric and design make them suitable for casual wear around the beach or pool area, though they are optimized for water activities.
How should I care for the recycled fabric?
Follow the care instructions: rinse after use, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not iron. Air dry flat.
What does 'REPREVE' mean?
REPREVE is a brand of recycled performance fibers, made from recycled materials like plastic bottles. It signifies the sustainable origin of the polyester used in the shorts.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose
Tighten the integrated drawcord for a more secure fit. Ensure the drawcord is tied securely.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a cold wash cycle and avoid high heat drying. Air drying is recommended. Fabric softener is not advised as it can degrade stretch properties.
Logo is peeling or cracking
Avoid ironing directly on the screen print. If washing by hand, turn the garment inside out before washing gently.
Shorts feel restrictive during movement
Confirm you have ordered the correct size. The 4-way stretch fabric should offer significant flexibility. Ensure the waistband is not overly tightened.
