FAQs

What type of activities are these swim shorts best suited for?

They are ideal for sailing, water sports, swimming, and general summer activities due to their quick-drying fabric and unrestricted movement.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The shorts feature an elastic waist with a drawstring for adjustability. They offer a classic fit, so if you prefer a very snug feel, you might consider sizing down.

Can I machine wash these swim shorts?

Yes, you can machine wash them on a warm water delicate cycle (40° C). Remember to close the velcro before washing and wash with similar colors.

Are there pockets on these shorts?

Yes, there are side pockets for convenience and a back pocket with a velcro closure for securing small items.

What do the bluesign® and Recycled content certifications mean?

These certifications indicate that the main materials used in the shorts meet high standards for environmental sustainability and include recycled components.

What is the inseam length?

The inseam length is 7 inches (17.5 cm CB inseam), providing a classic length for comfort and mobility.

Should I use fabric softener when washing?

No, it is recommended not to use fabric softener, as it can affect the quick-drying properties of the material.

Troubleshooting

Swim shorts feel too loose

Tighten the drawstring at the waist for a more secure fit. If the waist is still too large, consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate for future purchases.

Fabric is not drying quickly

Ensure the shorts are not overloaded in the washing machine and are spun adequately. After washing, hang them in a well-ventilated area. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can impede drying.

Velcro on back pocket is not secure

Ensure the velcro is clean and free of lint. If the velcro has lost its grip significantly, it may be a sign of wear and tear.
