FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for water sports?
While the nylon material is quick-drying and durable, these are primarily engineered for land-based trail activities and hiking.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts follow a regular fit. We recommend comparing your waist and hip measurements against the standard Montane size guide for your specific region.
Do the pockets accommodate large smartphones?
The open hand pockets are for quick access, while the zipped pockets are secure; however, they may not fit oversized, modern 'plus' sized smartphones comfortably.
Is the fabric prone to snagging?
The nylon construction is specifically chosen for its abrasion resistance, making it highly resistant to standard trail snags.
Can I iron these shorts?
It is generally not recommended to iron technical nylon outdoor gear, as the heat can damage the fabric structure and stretch properties.
Troubleshooting
Waist fit feels inconsistent during activity
Adjust the 50:50 half-exposed waist belt for a tighter, more personalized fit.
Fabric feels restrictive during high-steps
Ensure the garment is positioned correctly at the hips; the pre-articulated gusset is designed to sit lower for maximum mobility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts are designed for an "out-of-the-box" fit. When selecting your size, refer to standard sizing charts as the product follows a regular fit profile. To maintain the integrity of the 2-way stretch material and the protective finish of the nylon:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cool water.
- Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners that can clog the breathable fibers.
- Hang dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area to preserve the fabric's shape.
- Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the elasticity of the stretch construction over time.
