FAQs

Are these shorts true to size?

They are designed with an athletic fit; if you prefer a looser feel for movement, consider your typical dress size or refer to the specific sizing chart for your waist measurement.

Can I wear these for long-distance swimming?

Yes, their lightweight and quick-dry properties make them excellent for swimming, though they are designed primarily as board shorts rather than competitive racing gear.

How should I wash them?

Hand-washing in cool, fresh water with mild soap is best to maintain the fabric's integrity and protective coatings.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing a high level of skin protection while you are outdoors.

Do they have an inner liner?

These shorts are designed as a lightweight outer layer; they do not include an integrated mesh liner.

Troubleshooting

Drawcord feels stuck or difficult to pull.

Ensure the cord is not twisted inside the waistband casing; gently massage the fabric around the exit holes to release any trapped salt or sand.

Fabric feels stiff after swimming.

This is likely salt or chlorine build-up; rinse the garment thoroughly in cool, fresh water and let it air dry completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent sun protection with UPF 50+ rating
  • Rapid drying time prevents discomfort
  • Durable against chlorine and salt damage
  • Easy to pack due to lightweight materials
  • Adjustable waist for a personalized fit

Cons

  • Limited stretch compared to spandex-heavy swimwear
  • Hand-washing recommended for longevity
  • Specific athletic cut may require sizing adjustments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your board shorts last, follow these care and setup guidelines:

  1. Fitting: The shorts feature a drawcord; tighten this before entering the water to ensure the shorts remain secure during active movement.
  2. Rinsing: After every use in a pool or the ocean, rinse the shorts thoroughly in cool, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, or sand.
  3. Cleaning: Hand-wash in cool water using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the quick-dry coating from the fabric.
  4. Drying: Air dry in a shaded area. Direct, harsh sunlight can degrade technical fabrics over time. Do not tumble dry, as the heat may damage the fibers.
