FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the 4-way stretch and breathable nylon material make them an excellent choice for trail running.
Can I wear these under a harness?
Absolutely. The waistband is designed with a low-profile webbing buckle specifically to prevent chafing and bulk when worn under a climbing harness.
What is the primary material used?
The shorts are made from durable, high-performance nylon with 4-way stretch properties.
Are they waterproof?
They feature a water-repellent finish to shed light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof, so they will eventually soak through in heavy rain.
How should I wash them to maintain the stretch?
Always wash in cool water and avoid harsh detergents or softeners, as these can compromise the integrity of the stretch fibers.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the shorts.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the shorts to remove dirt and apply a technical DWR spray specifically for synthetic technical fabrics.
Waistband buckle keeps slipping.
Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the adjustable buckle. If it continues to slip, check for debris or grit stuck in the buckle mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Montane Caelum Shorts, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool 30°C using a mild soap. Avoid biological detergents as they can break down the fabric's properties.
- Drying: Drip dry in a well-ventilated area. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the stretch fibers.
- Water Repellency: The water-repellent finish (DWR) may wear off over time. If water stops beading on the surface, use a technical DWR re-proofer spray.
- Compatibility: These shorts are fully compatible with standard climbing harnesses and technical hiking backpacks due to the flat-profile webbing buckle.
