Full details
The Quiksilver Everyday 16 Inch Swim Shorts are designed for active adults who value both comfort and sustainability in their swimwear. These shorts offer a reliable, regular-fit experience with a 16-inch outseam and a convenient semi-elasticated waistband, making them an ideal choice for beach days or poolside relaxation. While they excel in quick-drying performance thanks to their specialized treatment, it is important to note that the shorter 16-inch length may feel more compact compared to traditional boardshorts.

FAQs
What does the 16-inch outseam mean?
The outseam measurement refers to the length of the shorts from the top of the waistband down to the bottom hem, which in this case is 16 inches, placing the hem well above the knee.
Are these shorts suitable for intense swimming?
Yes, the regular fit and shorter outseam provide minimal resistance in the water, making them suitable for recreational swimming and surfing.
Can these be worn as everyday shorts?
While they are styled as swimwear, their quick-drying fabric and comfortable fit make them suitable for casual wear in warm, beachside environments.
How should I wash them to keep the fabric sustainable?
Wash with similar colors on a cold, delicate cycle and avoid using bleach or heavy detergents to preserve the recycled polyester integrity.
What is PFC-free treatment?
This refers to a water-repellent coating that is free of Perfluorinated Chemicals, which are often used in standard treatments but can be harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
The hydrophobic treatment may be wearing off; ensure you are not using fabric softeners during wash cycles, which can strip the coating.
Fit feels too loose around the waist.
Utilize the integrated drawstring to cinch the semi-elasticated waist for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the hydrophobic coating and the integrity of the fabric, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse After Use: Always rinse the shorts thoroughly in fresh, cold water after swimming in chlorine or saltwater.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can break down the hydrophobic coating.
- Drying: Air dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers and the water-repellent treatment.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing them to prevent moisture buildup or odor.
