Product Information
Full details
Designed for adult men who value a mix of casual comfort and aquatic functionality, these Quiksilver Everyday swim shorts provide a versatile 16-inch outseam and a reliable semi-elasticated fit. Crafted from recycled polyester with a PFC-free hydrophobic treatment, they are an excellent choice for beach days or poolside relaxation; however, the shorter 16-inch length may feel restrictive for those who prefer more coverage or high-performance surfing gear.

FAQs
What is the outseam length of these shorts?
These shorts feature a 16-inch outseam, which is considered a shorter, classic length.
Are these shorts suitable for intense surfing?
While durable, these are designed as everyday swim shorts and lack the specialized lock-down features found in dedicated performance surf boardshorts.
What material are these made of?
They are constructed from recycled polyester, supporting more sustainable textile production.
Does the waistband have a drawstring?
The shorts utilize a semi-elasticated waistband to provide a secure and adjustable fit.
How should I wash them?
Rinse with fresh water after swimming and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle; air dry in the shade for best results.
What does 'PFC-free' mean?
It means the water-repellent treatment does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often considered harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to soak into the fabric
Over time, the hydrophobic treatment can wear off. Avoid using fabric softeners during wash, as these can coat the fibers and interfere with the water-repellent performance.
Waistband feels too tight or loose
The semi-elasticated waist provides some flex, but ensure you are matching your actual waist measurement to the 36-inch sizing for the best fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Quick-drying material for all-day comfort
- Environmentally conscious use of recycled fabrics
- Secure semi-elasticated waistband for a flexible fit
- Classic straight leg design looks good in or out of the water
Cons
- 16-inch length may be too short for some preferences
- Lacks technical features required for heavy-duty competitive surfing
- Fixed sizing necessitates precise measurement for optimal fit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts are designed for immediate wear with no setup required. To ensure the longevity of the hydrophobic coating and the integrity of the recycled material, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse after use: Always rinse the shorts thoroughly in fresh, cold water after exposure to salt water or chlorine to prevent fabric degradation.
- Machine wash cold: Wash with like colors on a gentle cycle to maintain the shape and color of the fabric.
- Avoid high heat: Do not tumble dry or iron the garment, as high heat can damage the specialized coating and synthetic fibers. Air drying in the shade is the best method to preserve the material.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before folding them for long-term storage to prevent odors or mildew growth.
