Full details
The Quiksilver Everyday 16 Inch Swim Shorts are designed for adult men who prioritize mobility and sustainable comfort during water activities. Featuring a 16-inch outseam and a versatile semi-elasticated waistband, these shorts offer a secure fit perfect for swimming, surfing, or beach leisure. While they provide excellent water-repellency thanks to a PFC-free hydrophobic treatment, users should note that the shorter 16-inch cut is specifically engineered for active movement rather than standard casual coverage.

FAQs
What does the 16-inch outseam mean?
The outseam measures the length from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem of the shorts, which in this case is 16 inches, classifying them as a short-cut boardshort.
Are these shorts suitable for casual wear outside the beach?
While designed for water activities, their functional style and neutral brown color make them suitable for casual beachside settings and warm-weather leisure.
What is PFC-free treatment?
This is a water-repellent finish applied to the fabric that avoids the use of perfluorinated chemicals, which are often considered harmful to the environment.
How should I measure my waist for these shorts?
Measure around the natural waistline where you typically wear your shorts and match it to your standard UK waist size, keeping in mind the elastic waist offers extra flexibility.
Can I tumble dry these boardshorts?
It is highly recommended to line dry or air dry these shorts to protect the technical fabric and the longevity of the hydrophobic coating.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel less water-repellent over time
Frequent washing with harsh detergents can deplete the hydrophobic coating; use a gentle, eco-friendly soap and ensure all residue is rinsed away.
Waistband feels loose during activity
Check the internal drawstring adjustment to tighten the fit further beyond what the semi-elasticated waistband provides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Quiksilver Everyday swim shorts, proper care is essential. Always rinse the shorts thoroughly in fresh water after use in salt or chlorinated water to remove corrosive minerals and chemicals. When washing, use a mild detergent on a gentle cycle, preferably in cold water, and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the hydrophobic treatment. Air dry the shorts away from direct, harsh sunlight to prevent fabric degradation and maintain the integrity of the material's structural fibers.
