Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, they are designed as hiking shorts and do not feature a swim-specific liner.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing a high level of protection for your skin.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The zipped pockets are designed for small valuables. Depending on the size of your smartphone, it may be a tight fit.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the Mountain Warehouse UK size chart, measuring your waist and hips to align with the corresponding UK dress size.
Can I tumble dry these?
It is generally recommended to air dry these to maintain the longevity of the synthetic fibers and the UPF coating.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord feels loose or slips
Ensure the toggle or knot is secured firmly; if the cord is worn, it may need to be replaced with a standard utility cord.
Fabric appears to have water spots
Wash the garment according to instructions; polyester fabrics can sometimes show mineral deposits from hard water which clear up after a proper wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Explorer Shorts maintain their protective properties and fit, follow these simple care instructions:
- Sizing: These shorts follow standard UK dress sizing. Always consult the official size guide to match your measurements to the correct size.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid harsh bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the technical properties of the fabric.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to preserve the color and fabric integrity.
