FAQs

What type of activities are these swim shorts best suited for?

These shorts are ideal for recreational swimming, lounging by the pool or beach, and general warm-weather leisure activities. The ultralight fabric is designed for comfort and quick drying.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The drawstring waist allows for adjustability. We recommend checking the size guide for your specific measurements and adjusting the drawstring for a secure yet comfortable fit.

Can I wear these for intense sports like surfing or diving?

While comfortable for light water activities, the ultralight microfiber fabric may not offer sufficient support or durability for high-impact sports. They are best suited for less demanding water activities.

How should I clean the shorts to maintain their color and fabric quality?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Always rinse after use, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and hang to dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry.

Is the back pocket waterproof?

The back pocket has a Velcro closure, which helps to keep water out to some extent and secure your items. However, it is not a fully waterproof seal, so it's best to avoid submerging the pocket or storing sensitive electronics in it.

What does the 'side piping' feature do?

The side piping is a design element that adds a graphic accent and visual detail to the shorts, enhancing their overall aesthetic appeal.

What material are these shorts made from?

They are made from ultralight microfiber fabric, known for its quick-drying properties and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Swim shorts feel restrictive after drying.

Ensure the shorts are fully dry before assessing fit. Microfiber can feel slightly different when damp. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate for your needs, especially if seeking compression.

Color seems to fade after a few uses.

This can occur with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Rinse thoroughly after each use and dry in the shade. Consider using a UV-protective spray if spending extended time in direct sun.

Velcro on the back pocket is losing its grip.

Clean the Velcro surfaces gently with a soft brush to remove any lint or debris. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog the Velcro hooks and loops.

Drawstring is difficult to adjust or stays loose.

Ensure the drawstring is threaded correctly through the waistband. If it feels slippery, tie a knot in the ends of the drawstring to provide better grip.
