FAQ
How do I know if these boardshorts will fit me well, especially around the waist?
These boardshorts have a fitted waist that some customers find snug, so we recommend checking the size chart carefully before ordering. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. The fabric includes stretch, which improves comfort around the waist. If the fit isn’t right, you can exchange for a different size easily, as we offer free returns and exchanges within 30 days.
Will the recycled poly and coconut husk fabric hold up well with frequent water use?
The LlamaSeal™ CocoLoco fabric combines recycled polyester and coconut husk fibers for durability and stretch, designed specifically for swimwear that sees regular water exposure. This hybrid fabric resists wear from saltwater and chlorine while maintaining comfort. With proper care, such as rinsing after use and washing cold, these shorts will last through many beach seasons.
Can I use the pockets confidently without worrying about losing my items in the water?
Yes, the boardshorts feature a snap-close back pocket and a side zipper pocket to secure your valuables safely. These closures keep small items like keys or cards protected during water activities. The design balances accessibility with security so you can enjoy your time without worry.
How should I care for these boardshorts to keep them looking and feeling great?
Hand wash or machine wash cold and hang dry to maintain the fabric’s stretch and color. Always rinse the shorts with fresh water after swimming in saltwater or chlorinated pools to prevent buildup and preserve fabric integrity. Avoid bleach and high heat drying to extend their lifespan.
Are these boardshorts suitable for all water sports or just casual beachwear?
These 18" boardshorts are designed as hybrid swimwear combining comfort and function, suitable for casual beachwear and active water sports like surfing or paddleboarding. The stretch fabric and secure pockets support movement and utility, but if you need compression or specialized performance wear, these may not meet those specific needs.
Where are these boardshorts made, and are they environmentally friendly?
These boardshorts are made using LlamaSeal™ CocoLoco Fabric, which includes recycled polyester and coconut husk fibers, reflecting an eco-conscious production approach. While the exact manufacturing location isn't specified, the use of recycled and natural materials supports sustainability and reduces environmental impact.
