What Makes the Invisible Beach Boxer Special
The HOM Invisible Beach Boxer in red (model 401434-00PA) is a beach short made from colorful polyamide with a tone-on-tone anchor motif that only becomes visible when wet. This clever design detail, combined with a slightly fitted leg cut, two side pockets, and an inner mesh lining, makes it a comfortable choice for the beach. To keep the fabric, print, and lining in good condition, a few simple care habits go a long way.
Key Product Facts for Care
- Invisible Beach Boxer | Red 401434-00PA: The Invisible Beach Boxer is made from polyamide, a material that dries quickly, does not retain moisture, allows colors to set well, and does not fade. Polyamide's quick-drying nature means less time in the dryer and less risk of heat damage. Its color retention also means the red hue and hidden anchor motif stay vibrant longer with proper washing.
Invisible Beach Boxer | Red 401434-00PA - Invisible Beach Boxer | Red 401434-00PA: The beach shorts feature mesh inner briefs in 100% polyester and an elasticated waistband covered with the swimsuit fabric. The polyester mesh lining needs gentle handling to avoid snagging, and the covered elastic waistband should not be exposed to high heat, which can degrade the elastic over time.
Washing Your Invisible Beach Boxer
To protect the polyamide fabric and the hidden anchor motif, hand washing in cold water is the safest approach. If you use a machine, select a gentle cycle with cold water and place the shorts inside a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can break down polyamide fibers and dull the red color.
The inner mesh lining (100% polyester) is durable but can be prone to pilling if rubbed against rough fabrics. Turning the shorts inside out before washing helps protect both the outer fabric and the lining.
Drying and Storing
Polyamide dries quickly, so air drying is ideal. Lay the shorts flat on a towel or hang them in the shade—avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the red color over time. Do not wring out the fabric, as this can distort the shape and damage the mesh lining.
The elasticated waistband and drawstring with plastic ends should not be exposed to high heat from a tumble dryer or iron. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting and remove the shorts while still slightly damp.
Store the Invisible Beach Boxer folded or hung in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them while still damp, as moisture can encourage mildew on the polyester mesh.
