FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the lightweight and quick-drying fabric with UV protection makes them ideal for hot weather conditions.

What is the length of these 'long shorts'?

The 'long shorts' designation typically indicates a length that falls below the mid-thigh, offering more coverage than standard shorts.

Can I wear these for swimming?

While they are quick-drying, they are designed primarily as shorts for outdoor activities. They can handle getting wet, but are not specialized swimwear.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Mountain Warehouse, paying attention to waist and hip measurements. The elastic waistband offers some flexibility.

What does the 2-year warranty cover?

The warranty typically covers manufacturing defects and issues related to the quality of materials and workmanship. It does not cover normal wear and tear.

Can I wear them for casual everyday use?

Absolutely, their comfort and practical features make them suitable for everyday wear, especially during warmer months or for casual outings.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The zipped pockets are designed for secure storage of essentials. Their depth should be sufficient for most standard-sized smartphones, but checking dimensions is advisable.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or loose

Adjust the elastic waistband for a more comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Zipper on pockets is difficult to use

Ensure the zipper area is clean and free of debris. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Fabric is not drying as quickly as expected

Ensure the shorts are not oversaturated with water. Wring out excess water before drying. Avoid using fabric softeners in the wash, which can impede drying.

UV protection seems less effective after washing

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding detergents and fabric softeners. Harsh chemicals can degrade UV treatment over time.
