FAQs
What does the '16' in the name refer to?
The '16' refers to the outseam length in inches, which determines how far down the thigh the shorts sit.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming in pools?
Yes, they are suitable for pool use, though you should rinse them thoroughly in fresh water afterward to remove chlorine residue.
Does the material have any stretch?
The regular fit and standard polyester weave provide a comfortable fit, though they do not feature 4-way spandex stretch.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry, but if you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent damaging the recycled polyester.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the water-repellent coating is made without perfluorinated chemicals, which are often harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the fabric
The hydrophobic coating may have worn off. Wash with a tech-wash product designed to restore DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finishes.
Fabric feels stiff after air drying
This is common with polyester. A quick rinse in fresh water and a gentle shake before drying again can help soften the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your board shorts maintain their integrity and water-repellent finish, follow these guidelines:
- Rinsing: Always rinse your shorts in fresh, cool water immediately after exposure to salt water or chlorine.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the hydrophobic coating.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading or losing shape.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mildew growth.
- Fit Check: Ensure you select the correct waist size as the regular fit is designed to sit true-to-size at the waistline.
