FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for warm-weather hiking, trail running, and other outdoor activities where comfort, mobility, and sun protection are important.
How much sun protection do these shorts offer?
They offer UPF 50+ protection, which means they block over 98% of harmful UV rays.
What is the fabric composition?
The shorts are made from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, which is 86% polyamide and 14% elastane, weighing 130gsm.
Are these shorts waterproof?
They have a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which means they can shed light rain and moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
How should I wash these shorts?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry on a low setting, and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean.
What does 'part-elasticated waist' mean?
It means that part of the waistband is elasticated, providing a more comfortable and adaptable fit around the waist.
Can I wear these in cooler weather?
While they are designed for warm weather, they can be layered over thermal base layers for use in cooler conditions, though their primary design is for warmer temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or loose.
Refer to the size guide and consider trying on different sizes if possible. The part-elasticated waist offers some adjustability.
Water repellency seems reduced.
After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impair DWR.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions. Low heat tumble drying can help soften the fabric.
