FAQs

Can these be worn in a pool?

Yes, they are suitable for both saltwater and chlorinated pool environments, though frequent rinsing is recommended.

How do I determine my size?

These shorts are listed by standard UK dress sizes. Refer to the brand's size guide and consider the adjustable waist for a flexible fit.

Do these have a built-in liner?

The product description focuses on the outer shell performance; refer to your specific garment tag to confirm internal lining details.

Are they suitable for hiking?

Yes, their lightweight, quick-dry, and stretchy nature makes them excellent for hot-weather hiking or adventure travel.

How should I store them when traveling?

They are highly compressible; simply roll them tightly to save space in your luggage.

Does the UV protection wash out?

The UV protection is effective, but it can degrade over many wash cycles. Use mild detergents to prolong the effectiveness of the treatment.

Troubleshooting

Waist feels loose during water activities

Ensure the internal adjustment system is tightened and secured properly before entering the water to account for fabric expansion when wet.

Fabric remains damp for too long

Ensure the shorts are not being washed with heavy items that retain water, and always shake them out thoroughly to maximize airflow for drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fabric dries exceptionally fast after swimming
  • Adjustable waist ensures a customized, comfortable fit
  • UV protection adds an extra layer of sun safety
  • Lightweight design is highly packable for vacation
  • Stretch material allows for complete freedom of movement

Cons

  • Patterned prints may fade if exposed to harsh pool chemicals frequently
  • Limited size availability per specific colorway
  • Requires proper rinsing to preserve fabric elasticity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your boardshorts, always rinse them thoroughly with fresh, cool water after each use in a pool or the ocean to remove salt and chlorine residue. When washing, use a gentle machine cycle with mild detergent; avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the quick-dry and UV-protective coatings. Hang dry the shorts in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the pattern. Because the shorts feature an adjustable waist, simply pull the internal tabs or ties to achieve your desired fit before heading out.
