Troubleshooting
Race-ratchet closure feels stiff
Clean the ratchet mechanism with a damp cloth to remove grit or dried mud, then apply a tiny drop of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Shorts losing water resistance
Over time, DWR coatings wear off. Wash the garment thoroughly and apply a DWR-refreshing spray, followed by low-heat drying if the garment care label permits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ranger Shorts, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Always fasten the race-ratchet closure before washing to prevent snagging on other items. Machine wash in cold water using a mild, non-detergent cleaner to protect the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the material. Hang dry whenever possible to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers and the DWR coating. If you notice the water-repellency fading over time, consider using a DWR spray treatment designed for technical apparel.
