FAQs
What is FlashDry fabric?
FlashDry is a technology designed to accelerate the drying process and increase the fabric's breathability. It helps to wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you cool and dry during physical activity.
Can these shorts be used for running?
Yes, the moisture-wicking fabric and secure waistband make them suitable for running and other athletic activities.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length for these shorts is 8 inches (approximately 20.32 cm).
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to The North Face's general sizing guide for women's apparel. The adjustable waistband also allows for some flexibility in fit.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are designed primarily for athletic activities and not specifically as swimwear. They may not provide adequate support or coverage for swimming.
What material are the shorts made of?
The shorts are made of polyester, which provides durability and efficient moisture management.
How do I clean the internal power mesh?
The internal power mesh is part of the waistband and should be cleaned following the general care instructions for the shorts: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or loose at the waist.
Adjust the internal drawstring or ensure the contour waistband is positioned correctly on your natural waistline for a secure, comfortable fit.
Fabric feels damp after activity.
Ensure the shorts are washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners which can reduce moisture-wicking efficiency. Allow ample drying time.
Waistband is rolling down during movement.
Verify the size is correct. Ensure the internal power mesh is lying flat against the skin and that the waistband is positioned at the natural waist.
