FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense swimming?
Yes, they are designed for water activities, though the fit is intended to be comfortable and casual rather than a skin-tight competitive swimsuit.
Do these shorts come with an inner liner?
These board shorts are designed as outer layers and do not feature a built-in swimsuit liner.
How should I handle the warranty?
The product comes with a 2-year warranty for quality-related issues. Keep your original receipt or proof of purchase for any warranty claims.
Can I wear these for activities other than swimming?
Absolutely. Their lightweight and quick-dry nature makes them excellent for hiking, travel, or any outdoor summer activity.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The material is designed to be lightweight and functional, prioritizing quick-drying performance over high elasticity.
How do I choose the right size?
The shorts use standard UK dress sizing. Use the provided size guides and the adjustable drawcord to achieve your preferred fit.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord feels loose in water
Ensure the drawcord is knotted securely and tightened while the fabric is dry before you enter the water to account for fabric expansion.
Fabric appears slightly stiff after pool use
This is often residue from pool chemicals. Rinse the shorts in fresh water and wash them according to the care instructions to restore softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your board shorts, follow these guidelines:
- Adjustment: Before entering the water, tighten the drawcord to a comfortable but secure tension to prevent slipping.
- Rinsing: Always rinse the shorts thoroughly with fresh, cool water after exposure to chlorine or salt to maintain the fabric's integrity.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners that might interfere with the moisture-wicking properties.
- Drying: Hang to air dry in a shaded area. While the fabric is quick-dry, avoid direct, prolonged heat or tumble drying, as this can degrade the specialized materials over time.
