Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Caelum Shorts, wash them in cold water with mild detergent on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the nylon and stretch weave. Hang dry whenever possible, as high heat from commercial dryers can damage the stretch fibers over time. For best results on the trail, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable; if you are between sizes, the regular fit generally accommodates base layers underneath if trekking in varied temperatures.
