Stretch Hydropeak Surf Short - Women's

A DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that when it rains or you encounter splashes, water will bead up and roll off the material instead of soaking in. This feature helps keep you dry and comfortable during outdoor activities, making it ideal for adventures in unpredictable weather.

The inseam is the measurement from the crotch to the bottom hem of the shorts or pants. For example, a 4-inch inseam indicates a shorter style, perfect for activities like surfing or swimming. To find your ideal inseam, measure from your crotch to your desired length, or refer to the sizing chart provided to select the best fit for your comfort and activity level.

UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UV rays from the sun. This is crucial for outdoor activities, as it helps protect your skin from sunburn and long-term damage. Choosing clothing with UPF50+ protection allows you to enjoy the sun safely while minimizing the risk of skin issues.

Four-Way Stretch Construction means the fabric can stretch in all directions—up, down, left, and right. This feature provides enhanced flexibility and comfort, allowing you to move freely during physical activities like running, swimming, or playing sports. It ensures that your clothing adapts to your movements, making it a great choice for active lifestyles.

Clothing made from Recycled Polyester is created from recycled plastic materials, such as used water bottles. By choosing these products, you contribute to reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact associated with producing new materials. This sustainable choice not only helps the planet but also supports a circular economy, making it a responsible option for eco-conscious consumers.

The combination of DWR Finish and UPF50+ Protection provides a comprehensive solution for outdoor enthusiasts. While the DWR finish keeps you dry by repelling water, the UPF50+ protection shields your skin from harmful UV rays. Together, these features ensure that you can enjoy your outdoor activities comfortably and safely, regardless of the weather conditions.
