FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for heavy rain?
The shorts feature a water-repellent finish (H2OShield), which is designed to repel light rain and water-based stains. They are not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy downpours.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer, paying close attention to the waist and hip measurements. The product information indicates this specific item is a UK size 10.
Can I wear these shorts in hot weather?
Yes, the lightweight and breathable fabric, combined with UPF 50+ sun protection, makes them suitable for warm weather conditions. Ensure adequate hydration as with any outdoor activity.
How effective is the insect repellent feature?
The Nosi Defence fabric provides a barrier against biting insects. While effective for many common biting insects, its effectiveness can vary depending on insect type and density.
What are the dimensions of the zipped pockets?
Specific pocket dimensions are not provided, but they are designed to securely hold essentials like a smartphone, keys, and cards.
How should I wash these shorts to maintain their properties?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat and iron on a cool setting. Fasten zips before washing.
Does the water repellency wear off?
Yes, the water-repellent finish can diminish over time with washing and wear. You can restore or enhance this property by using a fabric re-proofer suitable for outdoor gear.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The H2OShield finish can diminish over time with washing and wear. Reapply a suitable fabric re-proofer after washing and drying according to the re-proofer's instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil on the zipper teeth can help lubricate them.
Product received has a slight odor.
This can occasionally happen with new synthetic fabrics. Air the garment outdoors for a day or wash it according to the care instructions.
