FAQs
What does 'sits slightly below waist' mean for the fit?
This indicates the waistband is designed to rest lower on your hips compared to traditional high-waisted garments, offering a more relaxed feel.
How effective is the Temp-iQ cooling technology?

While designed for work, their comfortable fit and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for casual wear, especially during warmer weather or outdoor activities.
What is the main advantage of the ripstop fabric?
Ripstop fabric is known for its strength and durability. It is woven in a way that prevents tears from spreading, increasing the longevity of the garment.
Are the cargo pockets on the thighs restrictive?
The cargo pockets are designed to be functional with a regular fit. The blend of materials also allows for flexibility, minimizing restriction during movement.

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight in the waist
Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. The hidden active waistband offers some flexibility, but proper sizing is key. Consider trying a size up if you prefer a looser fit.
Fabric not wicking moisture effectively
Rinse shorts before first wear. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's wicking pores. Check care label for washing instructions.
Pockets seem insufficient or difficult to access
Familiarize yourself with the placement of the 8 utility pockets. Some are designed for specific items, while others offer general storage. Ensure items are placed securely to avoid loss.
Color fading after washing
Wash inside out in cold water and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying. Consider air drying instead of machine drying.
