FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the lightweight and breathable fabric makes them well-suited for hot weather. The UV protection also adds a benefit during sunny conditions.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Mountain Warehouse. The shorts feature an elastic waistband for added flexibility in fit. Based on the product information, this specific item is Women's Size 12 (Medium).

Can I wear these for swimming?

While they are quick-drying, they are not designed as swimwear. However, their quick-drying properties mean they would perform adequately if they get wet during water activities near shore.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 2-year warranty, providing peace of mind regarding its quality and durability.

How should I clean the shorts?

Machine wash at 40°C. Avoid bleaching and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry.

Do the zipped pockets fit a smartphone?

The zipped pockets are designed for secure storage of essentials. It is recommended to check the dimensions of your specific smartphone against the pocket size if precise fit is critical.

What is the material composition of the shorts?

The product description does not specify the exact material composition, but highlights its quick-drying, lightweight, and UV-protective qualities, typical of polyester blends used in outdoor apparel.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the fit using the elastic waistband. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Zipper on pockets is difficult to use.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can help lubricate the zipper.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using the correct washing and drying settings as per the care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can affect the quick-drying and UV-protective properties.
