FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, they are designed for summer trails and offer good comfort due to their lightweight and stretch properties. However, in extreme heat, the nylon material might feel less breathable than natural fibers for some individuals.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart available on the product page or brand website. Measuring your waist and hips and comparing them to the chart is recommended.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While the shorts have a water-repellent finish, they are not designed for swimming. They are intended for hiking, walking, and general outdoor activities.
What is the H2OShield finish?
H2OShield is a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment applied to the fabric that helps water bead up and roll off the surface, providing protection against light rain and splashes.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the water repellency, avoid using fabric softeners and bleach during washing. You can also reapply a DWR treatment periodically, especially after significant wear or washing.
Do the pockets have enough space for a smartphone?
The zipped pockets are designed to securely hold essentials. Most standard-sized smartphones should fit, but it's advisable to check the dimensions if you have a larger model.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
Reapply a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Shorts feel less breathable
Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. For extreme heat, consider lighter-weight options or moisture-wicking liners.
