Product Information
Full details
The adidas 3-Stripes Swim Shorts are designed for adult men who need a versatile garment that performs equally well in the water and during casual street wear. These shorts feature a lightweight, quick-drying polyester fabric and a regular fit that ensures maximum comfort for swimming or everyday leisure; however, users should note that the 12.5 cm inseam is relatively short, which may not suit those preferring longer-length swimwear.

FAQs
Can I wear these for running?
While intended for swimming, the lightweight polyester and athletic fit make them suitable for short, casual runs or gym sessions.
Are the pockets mesh-lined?
Yes, the pockets are designed to allow water drainage to prevent the shorts from puffing up while submerged.
How should I wash them to keep the stripes intact?
Turn the shorts inside out before placing them in the washing machine and use a cold, gentle cycle.
Is the material stretchy?
The plain-weave polyester provides a standard athletic drape rather than a high-stretch spandex feel, allowing for a lightweight, breathable fit.
Does the size chart run true to size?
Yes, they follow standard regular fit sizing; if you prefer a looser fit, you may consider sizing up, though the elastic waist offers flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring feels stuck or hard to adjust
Ensure the waistband is fully relaxed and dry before pulling the drawcords to prevent friction against the eyelets.
Inner mesh brief feels abrasive
Ensure the shorts are positioned correctly on the waist; if irritation persists, ensure the soft tape binding is not folded inward.
Shorts staying damp for too long
After swimming, wring the excess water out gently and hang in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shorts feature an integrated elastic waistband and drawcord, setup is minimal—simply adjust the waist strings to your preferred tension before entering the water. To ensure the longevity of the fabric and the integrity of the inner mesh brief, it is recommended to rinse the shorts with fresh, cool water after exposure to chlorine or salt water. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors and avoid using bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the performance properties of the synthetic fabric. Always air dry in the shade to prevent potential heat damage to the elastic fibers.
