Troubleshooting
Drawcord won't stay tight
Ensure the cord is fully pulled and tied in a secure double knot to prevent slipping during intense activity.
Fabric snagging on rough surfaces
While durable, synthetic technical fabrics can snag. Avoid contact with rough rocky surfaces or sharp brambles when possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull the shorts on and utilize the drawcord inside the waistband to tighten the fit to your preference. Because these shorts are made from lightweight synthetic materials, they are generally machine washable. To maintain the life of the fabric and the integrity of the sun protection, wash in cool water with like colors and avoid using heavy bleach or high-heat drying, which can degrade the technical fibers over time. Always check the internal garment care label for the most accurate wash settings.
