Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Quick Dry Long Board Shorts are designed for adult women who need reliable, high-performance swimwear for beach days, swimming, and light outdoor activities. Their primary benefit is the moisture-wicking material combined with UPF 50+ sun protection, making them ideal for long hours in the sun and water. However, users should note that these are long-style board shorts, which offer more coverage than traditional bikini bottoms but may result in slightly longer drying times compared to ultra-minimalist swimwear.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense swimming laps?
While durable and high-performing, the longer cut is generally more suited for beach activities and leisure swimming rather than competitive racing.
Do these shorts have a built-in liner?
No, these are designed as over-shorts, and it is recommended to wear them over your preferred bikini or swimsuit bottom.
Can I wear these in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, the fabric is resistant to chlorine, making them suitable for pool use, provided you rinse them with fresh water afterward.
How do I choose the right size?
The shorts feature an adjustable drawcord, so refer to your standard dress size (UK 12, etc.) for the best fit, ensuring the waistband sits comfortably on your hips.
Does the UPF protection wear off?
With proper care—avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive friction—the UPF protection will remain effective for a significant period of time.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord slipping or coming loose
Tie the drawcord in a secure double knot before entering the water, and ensure the internal waist adjustment is correctly positioned.
Fabric feeling stiff after drying
This is often caused by salt or mineral buildup; rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to dry in a ventilated area, avoiding direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your board shorts, always rinse them in fresh, cold water immediately after use in a swimming pool or the ocean to remove salt and chlorine residue. When adjusting the fit, pull the drawcord firmly but avoid overtightening to prevent fraying the eyelets. For washing, machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties and the UPF sun protection coating. Air dry in the shade to prevent the fabric from becoming brittle under direct high-intensity sunlight over time.
