FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for hiking?

Yes, their lightweight, quick-drying, and UV-protective properties make them suitable for hiking in warm conditions.

What is the primary benefit of the fabric?

The fabric is designed to be quick-drying and offer UV protection, keeping you comfortable and safe from the sun.

How do I ensure the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart for women's apparel and measure your waist and hips to find the best fit. The elastic waistband offers some flexibility.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While they are quick-drying, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for protection from sun and light moisture, not heavy rain.

What is included with the purchase?

Each purchase includes one pair of Mountain Warehouse Explorer Womens Long Shorts and is backed by a 2-year warranty.

How should I clean the zipped pockets?

The zipped pockets are integrated into the shorts and should be cleaned following the general care instructions for the garment. Ensure zippers are closed before washing.

What does 'long shorts' mean in terms of length?

'Long shorts' typically refers to a style that falls below the mid-thigh, offering more coverage than traditional short shorts.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the fit using the elastic waistband. If the overall fit is incorrect, consult the size guide for alternative sizes.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a tiny bit of wax can help lubricate the teeth.

Fabric does not feel quick-drying.

Ensure the shorts are not overloaded with water. Squeeze out excess water before drying. Machine drying on low heat can also speed up the process.

Discoloration after washing.

Ensure you are washing with similar colors and using a gentle cycle with cold water, as per care instructions. Avoid using bleach.
