Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Coast Shorts are designed for active women seeking comfortable and durable casual wear. Their key benefit lies in the 4-Way-Stretch fabric, offering excellent flexibility for everyday activities or travel. A potential consideration is that while made with cotton, the blend is optimized for stretch rather than natural breathability in extreme heat. Key features include lightweight construction, UPF 50+ sun protection, and easy-care fabric.

FAQs
What is the fabric composition of the Coast Stretch Shorts?
The shorts are made from 98% cotton and 2% spandex, providing a balance of comfort and stretch.
Are these shorts suitable for hiking or strenuous activities?
Yes, the 4-Way-Stretch fabric, durability, and lightweight nature make them suitable for walking and light hiking. For very strenuous activities, consider specialized hiking gear.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, paying attention to the UK dress size and general apparel fit type ('Regular' in this case).
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 98% of UV rays.
Can these shorts be worn in wet conditions?
While they are durable, they are primarily made of cotton and spandex, which may absorb water. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions rather than prolonged submersion or heavy rain.
What is the warranty period for these shorts?
The shorts come with a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase.
Are there other color or size options available?
Yes, the Mountain Warehouse Coast Shorts are available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listing for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still not ideal, consider the 'Regular' fit type and check if alternative sizes or styles might be more suitable.
Fabric appears to lose stretch after washing.
Follow the recommended care instructions carefully. Avoid high heat drying or harsh detergents, which can degrade fabric elasticity. Air drying is often best for maintaining stretch.
Color fades over time.
Wash inside out in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying to help preserve color vibrancy.
