Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these are primarily designed for trekking and hiking rather than use as dedicated swimwear.
Does the material offer a lot of stretch?
The shorts are made from polyester, which provides a durable fit but has less mechanical stretch compared to spandex or elastane blends.
How do I know which size to pick?
Refer to the specific UK dress size 14 guide and measure your waist and hips to compare against the Mountain Warehouse size chart.
Can I iron these shorts?
It is generally not recommended to iron technical polyester shorts. If wrinkles occur, a light steam or hanging them while damp is usually sufficient.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The zipped pockets are designed for small essentials like keys, cards, or a slim wallet; most modern smartphones may be too large for these specific pockets.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is stuck or difficult to adjust
Ensure the cord is not twisted inside the waistband casing and gently pull to straighten the alignment.
Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing
Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners; rinsing thoroughly with water can often restore the lightweight feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Explorer Long Shorts maintain their performance features, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the integrated drawcord while standing to ensure the waistband sits comfortably without being restrictive.
- Washing: Use a gentle machine cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce their effectiveness.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. The quick-drying material means they typically do not require tumble drying, which helps preserve the fabric integrity and UV protection properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the vibrancy of the blue fabric.
