FAQs

Are these boardshorts true to size?

They are designed to follow standard UK dress sizing. Use the adjustable waist to fine-tune the fit to your specific measurements.

Can I wear these for casual walking?

Yes, the modern design and lightweight material make them suitable for casual beachside walking and general holiday wear.

What does the UPF protection mean?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, meaning the fabric is specifically treated to block a significant percentage of UV radiation from reaching your skin.

Are these shorts chlorine resistant?

While they are suitable for pool use, it is essential to rinse them in fresh water immediately after use to prolong the life of the fabric against chlorine chemicals.

How do I ensure the pattern doesn't fade?

Avoid leaving the shorts in direct, intense sunlight when not being worn, and always wash them inside out on a cool, gentle cycle.

Troubleshooting

Waist feels loose during swimming

Adjust the integrated waist tie or drawstring to secure the fit more firmly before entering the water.

Shorts are taking too long to dry

Ensure they are thoroughly wrung out after swimming and hung in an area with good air circulation rather than a humid bathroom.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick-drying fabric ideal for travel
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to stretch
  • Adjustable waist provides a secure, custom fit
  • Includes UPF sun protection for added skin safety

Cons

  • Patterned aesthetic may not appeal to those preferring solid colors

  • Limited coverage compared to longer swim bottoms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boardshorts maintain their elasticity and UV protection properties, please follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you select the correct UK size. The adjustable waist allows for fine-tuning, so prioritize your standard dress size when ordering.
  2. Rinsing: Always rinse the shorts with fresh, cool water immediately after exposure to chlorine or salt water to prevent fabric degradation.
  3. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the quick-dry and moisture-wicking properties.
  4. Drying: Hang dry in the shade. Direct, harsh sunlight can fade the pattern over time and may weaken the fibers.
