• What materials are used in The Critical Slide Society kids tees and boardshorts?

  Kids tees are crafted from a premium 230gsm cotton jersey for a soft, substantial feel, while boardshorts use a stretch Cotton/Poly fabric blend that balances comfort and mobility in the water. The brand also incorporates 100% recycled cotton, nylon, and polyester across its ranges to reduce environmental impact.
• Are The Critical Slide Society kids boardshorts suitable for active surf and coastal play?

  Yes, boardshorts like the Maytives Kids Boardshort are designed for surfing and coastal activities, using stretch fabric for unrestricted movement and reinforced seams for durability. Elastic waistbands and considered cuts help keep shorts secure in the water while remaining comfortable for all-day play.
• How do the Maytives Kids Boardshorts compare to other kids boardshorts from The Critical Slide Society?

  The Maytives prioritize a stretch Cotton/Poly blend with an elastic waistband for added mobility and fit flexibility, making them especially good for active water play and growth. Other styles in the kids range may vary in length, print or waistband construction, offering different looks or fits while retaining the brand’s focus on durability and surf performance.
• What should I consider when choosing a size for Critical Slide Society kids clothing?

  Look for the elastic waistband on boardshorts as a key feature that provides room for growth and a forgiving fit; if your child is between sizes, sizing up allows for layering and longer wear. For tees, the 230gsm cotton jersey has a structured feel, so checking the brand’s size chart and considering how your child prefers their fit (snug vs. roomier) will help you choose the best size.
