FAQs
What is Omni-Shield™ technology?
Omni-Shield™ is an advanced water and stain repellent treatment that resists moisture and water-based stains, helping to keep you dry and clean.
Are these shorts suitable for hiking?
Yes, their durable material, water resistance, and multiple pockets make them very suitable for hiking and other outdoor activities.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart and measure your waist. This guide specifies a UK waist size of 32.
Can I wear these in warm weather?
The shorts are designed for functionality and protection in various conditions. Their material offers breathability suitable for moderate to warm weather, but they are not specifically designed as cooling athletic wear.
What should I do if the water repellency seems reduced?
Check the care label and ensure you haven't used fabric softeners. Gentle washing according to instructions should help maintain performance. For significant reduction, re-applying a compatible DWR treatment might be considered after extensive use.
How many pockets do these shorts have?
The shorts feature multiple pockets designed for utility and storage of essentials.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric
Ensure the garment has not been treated with fabric softener, which can inhibit the Omni-Shield™ technology. Re-evaluate care instructions and consider if prolonged submersion has occurred.
Stains are difficult to remove
For fresh stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For set-in stains, follow the recommended washing instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing which might damage the fabric or technology.
Pockets feel too small or restrictive
While designed for utility, pocket capacity is standard. For carrying larger items, consider using a backpack or utility pouch in conjunction with the shorts.
