Troubleshooting
Swim shorts feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elastic waist with drawstring can be adjusted for a more comfortable fit.
Fabric feels heavy or waterlogged
This indicates the fabric may not be drying as expected. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as it can impede quick-drying properties. Check care label for correct washing temperature.
Velcro on back pocket is not secure
Clean any debris from the velcro surface. Ensure the velcro is fully engaged before washing and use. If damage has occurred, it may need repair or replacement.
Color fading after washing
Ensure you are washing with similar colors and using mild soap. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while drying, as this can accelerate fading. Check care label for specific washing instructions.
