FAQs
What does 'PFC Free' mean for these swim shorts?
'PFC Free' means the water-repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment.
What is the 'outseam' measurement?
The outseam is the length of the short measured along the side from the waistband to the hem. A 14" outseam indicates a shorter, youth-specific length.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
These shorts are designed for casual wear and recreational activities. For competitive swimming, specialized racing suits are typically recommended.
How do I know if size XL is the right fit?
The 'XL' size is for kids. It's best to refer to Quiksilver's specific size chart for youth apparel, which usually provides measurements for waist, inseam, and outseam to ensure the best fit.
Can these shorts be worn as regular shorts?
Yes, while designed for water, the comfortable fit and quick-drying material make them suitable for casual wear on warm days.
Does the elastic waistband have an adjustable drawstring?
This particular model features an elasticated waistband for a comfortable fit, but it does not appear to have an adjustable drawstring.
What other colors and sizes are available?
This product line (Everyday Volley 14") is available in various colors and sizes for kids. Please check the product listings for other available options.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after drying
Ensure you are following the care instructions. Avoid high heat drying and excessive detergent. A fabric softener suitable for sportswear can be used sparingly if needed.
Water is not repelling as effectively
Over time and with wear, the water-repellent treatment can diminish. Ensure the shorts are clean and free from oils or residues. Reapplying a PFC-free water repellent spray designed for technical fabrics may help restore performance.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or too loose
The elastic waistband is designed for comfort. If it feels too tight, ensure the size is correct. If it feels loose, consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate, as there is no drawstring adjustment on this model.
