FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ProTek technology?

ProTek technology provides a water-repellent coating, helping to keep you dry and comfortable in damp or light rainy conditions.

What material are these shorts made from?

The shorts are made from a woven fabric consisting of 88% polyester and 12% elastane.

Are the pockets secure enough for a smartphone?

The shorts feature zipped pockets, which offer secure storage for essentials like keys, cards, or a typical smartphone, preventing them from falling out during activity.

How should I wash these shorts?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.

What does the 5-inch inseam mean?

The 5-inch inseam refers to the length of the leg of the shorts from the crotch seam to the hem, indicating a shorter, athletic cut.

Can these shorts be worn in cold weather?

While they offer some protection against moisture, they are not insulated for cold weather. They are best suited for mild to warm conditions or as a base layer in cooler weather for activities that generate heat.

What sizes are available?

These shorts are available in various adult male sizes, including XS, S, M, L, and XL.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper up or down. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.

Shorts feel restrictive during movement.

Confirm you have selected the correct size. Ensure the waistband is not overly tightened. The fabric is designed to stretch, so significant restriction might indicate a sizing issue.

Water-repellent coating seems less effective.

The coating naturally degrades over time. Consider using a fabric refresher spray specifically designed for outdoor and water-repellent gear to restore some of its properties. Follow the product's specific application instructions.
