FAQs
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, they are water-repellent, meaning they can handle light rain, but they are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed for heavy storms.
Can I use these for swimming?
While the material is quick-drying, they are primarily designed for walking, hiking, and running rather than swimwear.
How do I ensure the right size?
The shorts feature an elasticated waistband and internal drawcord, which provides a flexible fit within your standard dress size.
What does PFC-free DWR mean?
It means the water-repellent coating is free from perfluorinated chemicals, which are better for the environment.
Do the pockets have zippers?
No, the two hand pockets are open, featuring stretch bindings to keep contents secure.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
Wash the shorts to remove dirt and oils, then re-apply a technical DWR spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
Waistband feels loose during activity
Ensure the internal drawcord is tied securely before starting your hike or run.
Pilling on fabric
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces like jagged rocks; use a fabric shaver gently if pilling occurs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts are designed for a straightforward fit; use the internal drawcord to cinch the waist to your preference before heading out. For care, it is recommended to wash them in cold water with mild detergent. To maintain the effectiveness of the PFC-free DWR coating, avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and diminish water repellency. Always air dry the garment away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the polyester stretch fabric.
