FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, their lightweight, quick-drying, and breathable fabric makes them ideal for warm and hot weather conditions.

Can I wear these for swimming?

While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are not designed as swimwear. They are intended for land-based activities.

What type of activities are these shorts best for?

They are best suited for summer hiking, trail running, walking, travel, and other outdoor activities in warm weather.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart. Given the part-elasticated waist, if you are between sizes, you may consider sizing down for a more secure fit.

How durable is the water repellent finish?

The DWR finish provides initial resistance to light rain and moisture. Its effectiveness will diminish over time with washing and wear, and may require reapplication.

What is the material composition?

The shorts are made from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, which is 86% polyamide and 14% elastane, with a weight of 130gsm.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too loose

Utilize the part-elasticated waist for a snugger fit. If significantly loose, consider ordering a size down or using a belt.

Water is not beading off effectively

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel.

Fabric feels damp after washing

Ensure the shorts are not overloaded in the washing machine and that they are spun adequately. Air dry thoroughly or use a low heat tumble dry setting.
