FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very cold weather?
These shorts are designed for warmer weather and active use. They offer water repellency but little insulation, making them best suited for temperatures above 10°C (50°F).
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart, which is usually available on the product page or the brand's website. Measure your waist and hips and compare them to the chart for the best fit.
How often should I reapply the water repellent treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. Typically, you might notice a decrease in performance after 10-20 washes, or if water no longer beads on the surface. Reapply as needed to maintain effectiveness.
Can the zipped pockets fit a smartphone?
The pockets are described as 'sleek', suggesting they are designed for essential items. While many standard smartphones may fit, larger models might be a tight squeeze. It's recommended to check pocket dimensions if smartphone storage is a priority.
What is the main benefit of the H2OShield finish?
The H2OShield finish provides a level of water resistance, causing water to bead up and roll off the fabric. This helps keep you dry from light rain or splashes and prevents the fabric from becoming saturated.
Are these shorts suitable for everyday casual wear?
While they offer comfort and functionality, their design is primarily for outdoor and trail activities. They can be worn casually, but their technical features are most beneficial when used for their intended purpose.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing
Reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment to the fabric following the treatment manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before application.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents. Tumble drying on a low heat can help soften the fabric. Check care label for specific instructions.
