FAQs
What activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for beach days, gym swims, summer watersports, and general recreational swimming due to their UV and chlorine-resistant fabric.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The shorts feature a drawcord for adjustment. Tighten or loosen the drawcord to achieve a secure and comfortable fit around your waist.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
While durable and comfortable for recreational use, they are designed more for casual wear and watersports rather than competitive swimming, which often requires specialized suits for optimal performance and buoyancy.
Can I wear these shorts for long periods out of the water?
Yes, the UV protective fabric offers some benefit. However, the material is optimized for water activities and quick drying. For extended non-water wear, consider breathability.
How should I wash these shorts?
Rinse with cold water after use, then machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Hang dry in shade or tumble dry on low.
What is the material composition?
The main fabric is 100% polyester woven peach fabric. The lining and pocket fabric is a blend of 95% polyester and 5% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is difficult to adjust
Ensure the drawcord is not tangled and is threaded correctly through the waistband. If stiff, try a gentle pull or loosen the knot if one is tied.
Pockets feel restrictive
The pocket lining is made of a polyester/elastane blend for some stretch. Ensure items placed in pockets are not overstuffed, which can cause strain.
Discoloration after a few uses
Ensure the shorts are rinsed thoroughly with cold water immediately after each use to remove chlorine or salt. Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully.
Shorts feel less quick-drying over time
Over time, fabric finishes can wear. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as they can impede quick-drying properties. Check for any potential lint buildup in the fabric weave.
