FAQs
What material are the Explorer Shorts made of?

How do I adjust the fit of the shorts?

Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the shorts have zipped pockets designed for safe storage of your essentials.
Can these shorts be worn for hiking?
While suitable for casual walks and light outdoor activities, their casual design and lightweight nature make them ideal for everyday summer wear rather than strenuous, technical hiking.
How should I wash these shorts?

What does 'Quick Drying' mean for these shorts?
The fabric composition allows water to evaporate quickly, making them great for humid weather, washing, or if they get wet during outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord comes untied or loose
Re-tie the drawcord securely. If the ends are frayed, consider adding a small knot or using a protective tip.
Fabric seems less water-repellent after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can affect the fabric's properties. Consider using a specific outdoor gear re-proofer if performance diminishes significantly.
Zipper on pockets feels stiff
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
