FAQs
What does 'NetPlus®' mean?
NetPlus® refers to Patagonia's material made from 100% postconsumer recycled nylon derived from discarded fishing nets, helping to clean up oceans and waterways.
Are these shorts suitable for casual everyday wear?
Yes, the relaxed fit, comfortable waistband, and quick-drying fabric make them excellent for everyday wear, especially during warmer months.
How do the side pockets reduce drag?
The vertical design of the side pockets is intended to create less resistance when moving through water compared to traditional horizontal pockets.
Can I store valuables in the rear pocket?
The right-rear pocket has a flap and a low-profile snap closure, providing a more secure place for small items like keys or cards than the open side pockets.
What is PFC-free DWR?
PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) is a finish applied to the fabric to help shed light moisture, made without using per- or poly-fluoroalkyl chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length for these shorts is 5 inches (12.7 cm).
How should I care for the shorts to maintain their properties?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp after swimming
Ensure pocket drain-and-dry corners are clear of debris. Allow additional air drying time. The fabric is quick-drying, but full saturation will take longer to fully dry.
Waistband feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the internal drawcord. For a looser fit, untie and re-tie the drawcord at a wider setting. For a tighter fit, pull the drawcord ends until snug.
Water repellent finish seems less effective
The DWR finish naturally wears down over time. Follow the care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider a DWR reapplication treatment for outdoor gear if performance significantly degrades.
Zipper or snap on rear pocket is difficult to use
Ensure the pocket area is clean and free of sand or dirt. Gently try to operate the snap. If persistent, check for any fabric obstruction.
