FAQs

What activities are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, walking, and travel, especially in warm or sunny weather. They are also comfortable for everyday casual wear.

How effective is the UV protection?

The fabric provides protection from the sun's UV rays, helping to keep your skin safe during extended outdoor exposure. Specific UPF ratings are not provided, but the feature is designed to offer a good level of protection.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are not specifically designed as swimwear. They are better suited for activities where they might get lightly wet or splashed, rather than submersion.

What is the warranty period for these shorts?

The Explorer Womens Long Shorts come with a 2-year warranty, offering peace of mind regarding their quality and durability.

Can I wear these shorts in cooler weather?

These shorts are primarily designed for warm weather due to their lightweight and quick-drying properties. They can be layered with other garments in cooler conditions, but they do not provide significant insulation.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Mountain Warehouse and consider your UK dress size. The elastic waistband offers some flexibility, but selecting the correct base size is important for overall comfort and fit.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose.

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

Fabric not drying as quickly as expected.

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

Zipper on pockets is difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. A small amount of wax or graphite can sometimes help lubricate a stubborn zipper.
