FAQs
What does '14" outseam' mean?
The outseam is the measurement from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem along the side seam. A 14" outseam indicates a youth length, generally shorter than adult styles.
Are these shorts suitable for chlorine pools?
While the polyester material is generally resilient, prolonged exposure to high chlorine levels can eventually affect the fabric and color. Rinsing with fresh water after pool use is recommended.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Quiksilver kids' apparel. Consider the elasticated waistband and drawstring for adjustability, but ensure the core fit is comfortable.
Can these shorts be worn for sports other than swimming?
Yes, their quick-drying and comfortable nature makes them suitable for various casual sports and beach activities, though they are not designed for high-performance athletic use.
What does 'PFC Free' mean?
PFC-free means the product does not contain per- or poly-fluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals often used for water repellency but can have environmental concerns. This designation indicates a more environmentally friendly approach.
How many pockets do these shorts have?
These swim shorts feature two front pockets and one back pocket.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose
Tighten the drawstring securely. Ensure the drawstring is tied with a double knot for extra security.
Shorts are taking a long time to dry
Ensure the shorts are wrung out thoroughly after use. Hang them in a well-ventilated area. Avoid drying in direct sunlight for extended periods, which can degrade fabric over time.
Drawstring came undone or is difficult to adjust
If the drawstring has come completely out, carefully thread it back through the waistband channels. If it's difficult to move, ensure there are no snags and the fabric is dry.
Pockets feel stiff or waterlogged
Shake out the pockets to remove any trapped sand or water. Allow the shorts to dry completely, which should resolve pocket stiffness.
