FAQs
Are these shorts water-resistant?
The Caelum Shorts are made from VECTOR Stretch nylon, which provides quick-drying benefits, but they are not marketed as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for swimming?
While the nylon material is quick-drying, they are designed as hiking shorts rather than dedicated swimwear.
How should I measure for the right size?
The Caelum Shorts use a regular fit. Measure your natural waist and hip circumference and compare them against standard women's sizing charts to ensure the best fit.
Do the pockets have drainage holes?
The pockets are designed for dry storage. Avoid placing electronics in the pockets if you are trekking in heavy rain.
What is the primary material composition?
These shorts are constructed from technical nylon, specifically chosen for its durability-to-weight ratio and flexibility.
Are they suitable for high-intensity climbing?
Yes, the articulated fit and gusset construction make them an excellent choice for climbing and scrambling.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Clear any debris or grit from the zipper teeth using a soft brush, then ensure the fabric is not caught in the slide mechanism.
Fabric appears slightly wrinkled after washing
Avoid high-heat tumble drying; instead, reshape the shorts while damp and hang them to dry naturally to smooth out the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Montane Caelum Shorts, proper maintenance is essential. Always check the internal garment tag for specific wash instructions. Generally, machine wash in cool water using a gentle detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the nylon fabric. Hang dry when possible to preserve the stretch properties of the material. Given their regular fit, these shorts pair well with technical base layers or can be worn alone, making them highly compatible with standard hiking gear and outdoor accessories.
