FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for high-energy activities such as running, training, and general outdoor workouts due to their lightweight, flexible, and durable nature.
How do I clean the shorts?
You can machine wash them at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, tumble drying on high heat, and dry cleaning. It's recommended to close zippers before washing and wash dark colors separately.
Is the key pocket large enough for a phone?
The pocket is described as discreet and invisible, typically designed for small essentials like keys. It is unlikely to be large enough for most modern smartphones.
Will these shorts keep me dry in heavy rain?
The shorts feature a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which helps repel light rain and moisture. They are not designed for heavy downpours and may become saturated in prolonged wet conditions.
What material are the shorts made of?
The Dare 2b Off Trail Shorts are crafted from 100% polyester.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these shorts?
It is generally advised not to use fabric softener when washing garments with a DWR finish, as it can impair the water-repellent properties.
What does the 'invisible' zipper mean?
An 'invisible' zipper is designed to be concealed within the seam of the garment, providing a cleaner aesthetic. It may appear less prominent than a standard zipper.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elasticated waistband is designed for flexibility, but incorrect sizing can lead to restriction.
Water repellency is reduced
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish can degrade over time. Follow the care instructions, particularly regarding washing and avoiding fabric softeners, and consider using a DWR re-proofer spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the zipper up and down. Closing zippers before washing helps maintain their smooth function.
Discomfort from waistband
Check that the waistband is not twisted and lies flat against the skin. Ensure the correct size has been purchased, as an overly tight waistband can cause discomfort.
