Product Information

Full details

The Quiksilver Everyday Half Jam 16 Board Shorts are designed for adult men who prioritize comfort and functionality during aquatic activities. These shorts provide the key benefit of rapid moisture management through a specialized hydrophobic coating, making them ideal for transitioning between the surf and the shore. A potential caveat for some users is the 16-inch length, which offers a shorter, more athletic cut that may not provide as much coverage as traditional board shorts.

FAQs

What does the 16 in the product name mean?

The 16 refers to the length of the outseam in inches, which determines how far down the leg the shorts sit.

Are these shorts made from recycled materials?

Yes, they are constructed using recycled textile waste as part of Quiksilver's commitment to sustainable manufacturing.

Can I wear these for casual daily use?

Absolutely. The regular fit and aesthetic make them suitable for both water-based activities and casual, dry-land wear.

Does the fabric stretch?

The material is primarily polyester, which is durable but does not have the high-degree elasticity found in technical spandex-blend board shorts.

How should I wash them to preserve the coating?

Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle without fabric softener, and always air dry in the shade.

Troubleshooting

Shorts remain wet for a long time

The hydrophobic coating may be clogged with salt or detergent residue. Rinse thoroughly in fresh, cold water and avoid using fabric softeners.

Fabric feels stiff

This can be caused by chlorine or salt buildup. Hand wash the garment using a mild detergent and ensure a thorough rinse.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These board shorts require no assembly and are ready to wear out of the package. To ensure the longevity of the hydrophobic coating and the integrity of the polyester fibers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Rinse after use: Always rinse the shorts thoroughly in fresh, cold water after swimming in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove salt and chemical deposits.
  2. Machine washing: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle.
  3. Drying: Hang to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fabric fading, and do not tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the water-repellent coating.
  4. Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing them to prevent mildew.
