FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for warm-weather mountain activities such as climbing, hiking, and fastpacking, where freedom of movement and breathability are crucial.
How do I adjust the waistband?
The shorts feature an internal elasticated waistband that provides a snug fit. It is designed to be worn as is, offering stretch and comfort without external drawcords.
Can I store a smartphone in the pockets?
The shorts have two open hand pockets and one zipped back pocket. The zipped pocket can securely hold smaller items like keys or a credit card. A smartphone may fit in the zipped pocket depending on its size, but it's best suited for smaller essentials.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, the Rab Harpur Shorts are designed for breathability and lightweight comfort in warm conditions, not for waterproofing. They are made from a stretch fabric suitable for dry to mildly damp conditions.
What makes the leg slit beneficial?
The slit at the bottom of the leg allows for an increased range of motion, particularly beneficial for activities like climbing, where high steps or dynamic foot placements are common.
How should I clean the shorts?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild soap. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What is the Rab® logo detail?
The Rab® logo is subtly embroidered on the back of the shorts, signifying the brand.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the internal elasticated waistband. If it's significantly too large or small, consider if a different size is needed.
Pockets do not close securely
Ensure the zipped pocket is fully zipped. The open hand pockets are designed for quick access and do not have closures.
Fabric feels less stretchy after washing
Ensure you have followed the care instructions, particularly avoiding fabric softeners and high heat drying.
Shorts feel restrictive during a specific movement
While designed for maximum mobility, ensure the waistband is positioned correctly and try a different range of motion to understand the limitation.
