FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
They are lightweight and quick-drying, making them comfortable for warm weather. However, they are 'long shorts' and made of polyester, which may feel warmer than very short or naturally breathable shorts in extreme heat.
What is the length of the 'long shorts'?
The exact inseam or length is not specified, but 'long shorts' generally refer to a style that falls below the mid-thigh, often closer to the knee than standard shorts.
How do I know if the size 12 will fit me?
The shorts feature an elastic waistband for improved fit and comfort. For specific measurements, it is recommended to consult a size guide if available or compare with a pair of well-fitting shorts you own.
Can I swim in these shorts?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are designed primarily for outdoor wear and not as swimwear. They can be worn for casual activities near water, but they are not optimized for swimming.
What material are the shorts made of?
The shorts are made from polyester, known for its durability, quick-drying properties, and UV protection capabilities.
How many pockets do the shorts have?
The description specifies 'zipped pockets' for convenient and safe storage, implying at least two zipped pockets (one on each side), though the exact number isn't detailed.
What is the warranty on these shorts?
The shorts come with a 2-year warranty, providing peace of mind regarding their quality and durability.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel slightly snug
The elastic waistband provides some flexibility. Ensure the shorts are pulled up fully to utilize the waistband's stretch for a more comfortable fit.
Zipper is stiff
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a tiny drop of lubricating oil applied to the zipper teeth can help ease movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fabric feels static
Static can occur with synthetic fabrics. Using a fabric softener during washing or a dryer sheet when drying (if machine drying on a low setting) can help reduce static cling.
