FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
While they are water-ready and quick-drying, these hybrid shorts are designed more for recreational swimming and casual wear rather than competitive racing where specialized swimwear is typically used.
What is the outseam length?
The outseam length is 17 inches (approximately 43 cm).
How do the pockets function when wet?
The side pockets have a mesh bag pocket, and the back pocket is integrated into the side seam. They are designed for light items and will hold them securely, though drainage may occur through the mesh.
Can I wear these as everyday shorts?
Yes, their lightweight fabric, comfortable fit, and casual style make them suitable for everyday wear, especially in warmer weather.
What material are the shorts made of?
The shorts are made of 100% polyester.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
Avoid using fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Reapplying a DWR treatment periodically can help maintain the water repellency.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the water-repellent finish. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Water repellency seems reduced.
Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics after several washes, following the product's instructions.
Fit is too loose or too tight.
Adjust the internal drawcord for a more secure fit. If the overall fit is significantly off, consider alternative sizes (e.g., W32, W36) if available.
