FAQs

What makes these shorts 'cooling'?

How many pockets do these shorts have?

What is the material composition of these shorts?

The shorts are made from a durable ripstop fabric blend consisting of 55% Cotton, 43% Nylon, and 2% Spandex.

What is the inseam length?

The inseam length is 11 inches, designed to hit just above the knee.

Does the waistband offer extra stretch?

Yes, the shorts feature a hidden active waistband that is designed to sit smoothly and allow for greater movement and comfort.

Are these shorts suitable for casual wear or only work?

While designed for work environments, their comfort features and practical pockets make them suitable for various casual outdoor activities where durability and comfort are desired.

How should I wash and care for these shorts to maintain their features?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and tumble dry on low. Remove promptly and iron on a cool setting if necessary. Avoid dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The hidden active waistband is designed to flex, but if it's consistently uncomfortable, consider if a larger size might be needed, or if the fit is not ideal for your body type.

Fabric does not feel cool.

The Temp-iQ cooling and moisture-wicking features work best in ambient temperatures. Ensure the fabric is clean and free from excessive dirt or residue, which can impede performance. Proper washing according to care instructions is recommended.

Pockets are not secure enough for small items.

While designed for utility, the pockets are open. For very small items, consider using a small pouch or bag within the pockets, or opt for a different style of work shorts with zippered or snap closures if security is a primary concern.

Color fading after washing.

Always wash with like colors in cold water and tumble dry on low heat as per the care instructions. Avoid using bleach and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as these can contribute to color fading.
