FAQs

What is REPREVE® polyester?

REPREVE® is a brand of recycled polyester fiber made from post-consumer plastic bottles, contributing to more sustainable textile production.

How does the O'Neill Hyperdry treatment work?

Hyperdry is a water-repellent finish applied to the fabric that helps it to dry faster than conventional materials, enhancing comfort during and after water activities.

Are these boardshorts suitable for competitive swimming?

While designed for comfort and movement in water, they are primarily intended for recreational swimming, surfing, and beach activities rather than competitive racing which often requires specialized suits.

Can I wear these for activities other than swimming?

Yes, their comfortable fit and quick-drying properties make them suitable for a variety of casual activities, including lounging, light hiking, or as general activewear.

What is the inseam length?

The product description specifies a 12" length, referring to the outseam measurement.

How do I care for the side pockets?

The side pockets are made from the same material. Follow the general care instructions for the boardshorts. Ensure pockets are empty before washing and drying.

Is this product available in other colors or sizes?

This specific listing is for the Green XS size. The O'Neill Essentials 12" Boardshorts are available in other colors and sizes, which can be found by checking the product's sibling variations.

Troubleshooting

Shorts not drying as quickly as expected

Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as it can impede the Hyperdry treatment. Check that the shorts are not excessively wrinkled, which can slow drying. Hang drying in a well-ventilated area is the most effective method.

Drawcord becoming difficult to adjust

Rinse the waistband and drawcord area with fresh water to remove any salt or sand. Ensure the drawcord is not twisted. If the issue persists, gently try to work the drawcord back and forth.

Embroidery appears to be lifting or damaged

Avoid high heat during drying or ironing. If minor lifting occurs, a cool iron applied carefully over a cloth might help secure it. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.
