FAQs

What makes the Nylon Metal fabric special?

Nylon Metal is a woven nylon fabric known for its distinctive metallic, iridescent sheen and crinkled appearance. It's lightweight, durable, and offers a unique aesthetic.

What does 'garment dyed' mean?

Garment dyeing means the fabric is dyed after the product has been sewn. This process results in richer, deeper colors and a softer feel compared to fabric dyed before manufacturing.

Is the mesh lining comfortable?

Yes, the built-in nylon mesh lining is designed for comfort and breathability, aiding in quick drying after getting wet.

How do I know if the regular fit is right for me?

A regular fit offers a standard, comfortable silhouette that is neither too tight nor too loose. If you prefer a very slim or tailored look, this might not be the ideal fit. Check the size guide for specific measurements.

Can I wear these shorts for sports?

While designed for swimming and leisure, the secure fit and quick-drying properties make them suitable for light water sports. For intense athletic activities, specialized sportswear might be more appropriate.

How should I care for the Compass logo patch?

Avoid direct high heat when ironing. It's best to iron the shorts inside out on a low setting to protect the logo patch from damage.

What is ECONYL®?

ECONYL® is a regenerated nylon yarn made from waste, such as old fishing nets and fabric scraps. It allows for the creation of high-quality nylon products with reduced environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Color appears uneven or faded after washing.

This can be a natural characteristic of the garment-dye process. Ensure you are washing according to the care instructions (cold, gentle cycle, inside out) to minimize color loss.

Drawstring is difficult to adjust.

Ensure the drawstring is not tangled within the waistband. Gently loosen or tighten it, ensuring it moves freely through the eyelets.

Fabric loses its metallic sheen.

Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying, as this can damage the fabric's finish. Follow the recommended low-temperature washing and drying guidelines.

Zipper on the back pocket is stiff.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth if necessary. Avoid using oil-based lubricants which may stain the fabric.
