Full details
The Quiksilver Everyday Half Jam 16 Board Shorts are designed for adult men who prioritize versatility and sustainability in their swimwear. These shorts offer a comfortable regular fit and a modern 16-inch length that works as well on the beach as it does for casual coastal activities. While they are highly functional due to their PFC-free hydrophobic treatment, potential buyers should note that the shorter 16-inch cut sits well above the knee, which may be a stylistic preference factor.

FAQs
What does the 16-inch length mean?
The 16-inch outseam refers to the length of the shorts from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem, which typically sits mid-thigh.
Are these shorts suitable for intense swimming?
Yes, the regular fit and quick-dry material make them excellent for swimming, surfing, and other water sports.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These shorts are designed with a regular fit. If you are between sizes, refer to your waist measurement to ensure the 38 UK size fits your frame comfortably.
Is the material eco-friendly?
Yes, the shorts are made from recycled polyester and feature a PFC-free hydrophobic treatment, making them a more sustainable choice.
Can I iron these shorts?
It is not recommended to iron synthetic board shorts as high heat can damage the fabric fibers and the hydrophobic coating.
Troubleshooting
Shorts staying wet for too long
Ensure you are rinsing out all chlorine or salt, and avoid using heavy fabric softeners that can coat the fibers and interfere with the hydrophobic treatment.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This may be due to detergent buildup. Run an extra rinse cycle without soap to clear any residue from the polyester weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your board shorts maintain their performance and longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Rinsing: Always rinse your shorts in fresh, cool water immediately after use in salt water or chlorinated pools to remove chemical residue.
- Washing: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the hydrophobic coating.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Direct sunlight over prolonged periods can cause color fading and weaken the recycled polyester fibers.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before folding and storing them to prevent mildew.
