FAQs
Can I use these for long-distance running?
Yes, many athletes use the 5-inch Baggies for running because the liner and lightweight nylon prevent chafing.
Do these shorts have a zipper?
No, the pockets are designed with drainage mesh and the rear pocket features a secure snap closure.
Are they true to size?
They generally fit true to size, but the elastic waistband and drawcord allow for some flexibility.
Can I wear them as casual everyday shorts?
Absolutely, the classic aesthetic and durable fabric make them a staple for casual summer wear.
How do I best clean the mesh liner?
Simply machine wash on a gentle cycle. The liner is durable and does not require special cleaning procedures.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord slipping during activity
Double-knot the internal drawcord before heading out to ensure the waistband stays secure during vigorous movement.
Water repellency fading over time
Wash the shorts and apply a specialized DWR-refreshing spray according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Baggies remain in peak condition, always rinse them with fresh water after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to prevent material degradation. Machine wash in cold water and hang dry to preserve the DWR finish. The elastic waistband is designed to fit snugly; if you are between sizes, utilize the internal drawcord to customize the fit. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can coat the nylon fibers and reduce the shorts' water-repellent properties.
