FAQs

What is the inseam length of these shorts?

The inseam is 16 inches, providing a mid-thigh length.

Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?

While they are water-friendly and quick-drying, they are designed more as board shorts for recreational use and beach activities rather than for competitive racing where specialized swimwear is typically used.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The regular fit and adjustable waistband offer some flexibility.

Can I wear these shorts for running?

The regular fit and longer inseam are generally comfortable for casual walks, but for intense running, dedicated athletic shorts might offer better mobility and moisture-wicking.

What material are these shorts made from?

The product information doesn't specify the exact material composition, but they are designed with a durable, water-repellent fabric suitable for beachwear.

Do these shorts have pockets?

The provided description does not mention pockets. Typically, board shorts may have a small back pocket or side pockets; check product images or specifications for details.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel stiff after washing.

This can sometimes happen with water-repellent fabrics. Ensure you are washing with like colors and using a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat, which can help restore some softness.

Drawcord is difficult to adjust.

Ensure the drawcord is not twisted. Gently pull both ends evenly. If it's excessively tight, check for any internal knots or snags within the waistband casing.

Water repellency seems reduced.

Over time and with frequent washing, the water-repellent treatment can diminish. Consider using a re-proofer spray specifically designed for technical apparel after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
