Full details
The Quiksilver Everyday 16 Inch Swim Shorts are designed for adult men who prioritize comfort and functional style during beach outings or casual pool sessions. Featuring a regular fit and a convenient semi-elasticated waistband, these shorts offer excellent mobility and ease of wear; however, users should note that the 16-inch outseam is shorter than traditional boardshorts, making them better suited for active water sports or leisure rather than long-distance swimming.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for surfing?
Yes, the 16-inch outseam and flexible waistband make them well-suited for surfing and other active water sports.
What does PFC-free hydrophobic coating mean?
It means the shorts have been treated with a water-repellent finish that does not contain harmful perfluorinated chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly.
Can these be worn as everyday casual shorts?
Absolutely. The classic design and comfortable fit allow them to function as casual summer wear when paired with a t-shirt or tank top.
How should I clean my swim shorts?
Rinse with fresh water after each swim, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle, and always hang to dry.
Do these shorts have a mesh liner?
Most variants of the Everyday series are designed for a streamlined fit; check the specific interior label of your pair to confirm if a liner is present.
Is the fabric prone to fading?
Like all swimwear, exposure to chlorine and direct, intense sunlight can cause eventual color fading. Rinsing after use helps extend the lifespan of the color.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent coating seems less effective
This is often caused by residue buildup. Thoroughly rinse the shorts with fresh water and allow them to air dry completely.
Waistband feeling too loose during swimming
Ensure the waistband is pulled to the appropriate resting point on the hips. If the fit remains loose, consider if a smaller size is required for your specific build.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Quick-drying material reduces time spent in heavy, wet clothing
- Comfortable waistband provides a secure fit during activities
- Lightweight and breathable fabric ideal for hot weather
- Classic, versatile striped pattern works well for casual wear
Cons
- The 16-inch length may feel too short for users who prefer knee-length coverage
- Limited pocket storage compared to cargo-style swim trunks
- Sizing is fixed to standard waist increments, which may not suit all body shapes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for these shorts; simply ensure you select your accurate waist size before use. For maintenance, rinse the shorts thoroughly with fresh water after each use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove chemical or salt residue. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and hang to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the polyester fibers and the water-repellent coating. Do not iron or dry clean, as these processes may degrade the technical finish of the fabric.
