Mountain Warehouse Explorer Long Shorts - Burgundy - Size: 16

The UV protection in the fabric helps to block harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun, reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage during prolonged sun exposure.

While lightweight and comfortable, these shorts are primarily designed for general outdoor activities and everyday wear. For high-intensity running, specialized running shorts might offer better features like enhanced breathability and freedom of movement.

Refer to the brand's sizing guide and consider your measurements. The elastic waistband offers some flexibility, but it's best to select the size that aligns with your usual UK dress size for the most accurate fit.

These shorts are best suited for warm or mild weather due to their lightweight and quick-drying nature. They may not provide sufficient warmth for cold conditions.

These are described as 'long shorts', typically indicating a length that extends further down the thigh compared to standard shorts, offering more coverage.

To maintain the quick-drying properties, wash in cool water and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang them to air dry for best results.

The pockets are zipped for secure storage, but they are not advertised as waterproof. They can protect items from light splashes or accidental drops, but should not be relied upon to keep contents dry in heavy rain or submersion.

The elastic waistband is designed for a flexible fit. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if the size chosen is appropriate or if the waistband needs adjustment if possible.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied.

Water-repellent properties can diminish over time. Ensure you are following the care instructions and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect performance. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment if the issue is significant.
