FAQs
What age group are these shorts intended for?
These are junior shorts, designed for kids. The specific size in this listing is XL.
How do I know if the size XL will fit my child?
Refer to The North Face's official size chart for junior apparel for precise measurements. Generally, XL in kids' sizing corresponds to a larger youth size.
Can these shorts be worn for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying and breathable, these shorts are not specifically designed as swimwear. They are best suited for athletic activities and casual wear.
What is the primary benefit of FlashDry-XD™ technology?
FlashDry-XD™ is designed to quickly wick moisture away from the skin and accelerate drying time, helping to keep the wearer dry and comfortable during physical exertion.
Are there other color options available?
This specific product listing is for Meridian Blue. Please check other listings for The North Face Junior 24/7 Shorts, as other colors may be available.
How many pockets do these shorts have?
The shorts feature two open hand pockets and one secure zip-fastening stash pocket.
Can the drawstring be removed?
The drawstring is typically integrated into the waistband and is not designed for removal. It serves to help secure the fit.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the drawstring to find a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the knot is tied firmly.
Fabric feels damp after activity
While designed for moisture-wicking, heavy perspiration may saturate the fabric. Ensure proper washing and drying to restore wicking properties. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede performance.
Zipper on stash pocket is stiff
Gently work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help if the issue persists.
