Product Information

Full details

Designed for active infants sized 9-12 months, these Patagonia boardshorts are ideal for parents seeking sustainable, high-performance swimwear that transitions easily from the beach to casual play. Crafted from recycled nylon fishing nets, these shorts offer a durable, quick-drying solution for water activities; however, the lack of an internal mesh liner means they are best paired with a separate swim diaper for pool use.

FAQs

Can these shorts be worn in a pool?

Yes, but because they lack a built-in liner, you must wear a swim diaper underneath.

What does the DWR finish do?

The Durable Water Repellent finish helps the fabric shed water quickly rather than absorbing it.

Are these shorts machine washable?

Yes, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low.

What material are these made of?

They are made from NetPlus postconsumer recycled nylon, sourced from old fishing nets.

Do these have a functional fly?

No, they feature a faux fly for a classic look with the simplicity of an elastic waistband for easy changing.

What is the inseam length?

The shorts have a 2-inch inseam.

Troubleshooting

Fabric staying wet for too long

Ensure the garment is not being dried with heavy, absorbent items; hanging the shorts in a well-ventilated area will speed up the process.

Waistband feeling too tight

Check that the swim diaper underneath is not bulked up or folded, which can create extra pressure against the elastic band.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally conscious material usage
  • Quick-drying fabric perfect for transitions
  • Soft, comfortable elastic waistband
  • Lightweight construction for infant comfort
  • Sturdy build quality that resists daily wear

Cons

  • No built-in mesh liner
  • Specific sizing (9-12 months) limits long-term use
  • Limited to one specific inseam length of 2 inches

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Patagonia boardshorts, machine wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle. Because the material is treated with a DWR finish, it is recommended to tumble dry on low or hang dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the water-repellent properties. These shorts are designed to be worn over a swim diaper, as they do not contain an internal liner. For the best fit, ensure the waistband sits comfortably above the swim diaper for maximum security and ease of movement.
