FAQs
Can I wear these as regular casual shorts?
Yes, many people wear them as everyday summer shorts due to their classic style and comfort.
Does the mesh liner provide enough support?
Yes, the internal mesh liner is designed to provide sufficient support during active land and water use.
How do I determine my size?
These shorts feature an elasticized waist, so choose based on your standard waist size; use the drawstring for a fine-tuned fit.
Are they suitable for long-distance running?
They are suitable for casual exercise, though serious runners might prefer shorts with higher technical stretch properties.
How should I clean them after saltwater use?
Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to prevent salt crystals from damaging the nylon fibers.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring feels difficult to tighten
Ensure the internal cord is not twisted inside the elastic casing; gently manipulate the fabric around the exit points to loosen any binding.
Shorts take longer than usual to dry
This often indicates a build-up of detergent or fabric softener on the DWR coating. Wash the shorts again without soap to rinse away residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Baggies, follow the manufacturer's care guidelines. Rinse the shorts with fresh water after exposure to chlorine or salt water to prevent material degradation. Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, and use a mild detergent. Hang drying is recommended to preserve the DWR finish and the integrity of the recycled nylon fibers. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fabric and inhibit its moisture-wicking and quick-dry performance.
