Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Explorer Womens Long Shorts are designed for adult women seeking practical and comfortable activewear for outdoor and everyday use. Their key benefit is offering UV protection, quick-drying, and lightweight features, making them ideal for travel and sunny days.

What does 'long shorts' mean in this context?

What is the purpose of the elastic waistband?

The elastic waistband is incorporated to provide an improved fit and enhanced comfort, allowing the shorts to adapt to the wearer's body.

Are these shorts waterproof?

No, they are not waterproof, but they are quick-drying, which is beneficial if they get wet from rain or sweat.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or loose

The elastic waistband is designed for comfort. If the fit is still not ideal, consider if a different size might be more suitable. For minor adjustments, a qualified tailor might offer solutions.

Zipped pockets not closing smoothly

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or graphite lubricant can sometimes help.

Fabric retains water after washing

While designed to be quick-drying, ensure the shorts are not overloaded in the washing machine and are spun adequately. Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area.
