Product Information
Full details
These Quiksilver Kids Everyday Volley 14" Swim Shorts are designed for active young boys who need durable, comfortable, and quick-drying swimwear for beach days or pool time. Their key benefit is the combination of a comfortable fit and a water-repellent finish. A potential caveat to consider is that the 14" outseam length may be shorter than some prefer for a 'jammer' style. Key features include PFC-free durable water-repellent treatment, a youth length fit, elasticated waistband for comfort, and 100% polyester construction for quick drying.

FAQs
What age group are these shorts designed for?
These shorts are designed for kids, specifically within the youth sizing range.
What does 'PFC Free' mean for the water repellent treatment?
PFC-free means the water repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. These shorts are sized for children, with specific UK and generic apparel sizing available (e.g., S, M, L, UK 9-10).
Are these suitable for competitive swimming?
These shorts are designed for casual wear and recreational swimming. They may not provide the hydrodynamic benefits or compression required for competitive swimming.
How long is the inseam?
The shorts feature a 14" outseam, which is a youth length, indicating a shorter overall length compared to adult board shorts.
Can these be worn for sports other than swimming?
Yes, the comfortable fit and quick-drying material make them suitable for various summer sports and activities, like beach volleyball or general outdoor play.
What is the main benefit of the water-repellent treatment?
The durable water-repellent treatment helps the fabric shed water, allowing the shorts to dry faster and feel lighter when wet.
Troubleshooting
Shorts do not feel water-repellent after washing
Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can affect the water-repellent treatment. Re-washing with a mild detergent might help. For persistent issues, the treatment may have worn off over time.
Elasticated waistband feels too tight or too loose
The shorts are designed with a standard elastic fit. If the fit is significantly off, consider exchanging for a different size. For minor looseness, a temporary knot in the waistband might suffice, though this is not recommended for long-term use.
Color fading after multiple uses
Follow care instructions carefully, especially washing in cold water and avoiding direct prolonged sunlight when drying. While some fading is normal with repeated use and sun exposure, proper care can minimize it.
