FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense hiking?
Yes, the four-way stretch fabric and durable construction are designed specifically for high-mobility outdoor activities like hiking.
Can I use these shorts for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying and water-repellent, they are designed as hiking shorts and not as dedicated swimwear.
What is PFC-free DWR?
It is a Durable Water Repellent coating that avoids the use of Perfluorinated Chemicals, making it a more environmentally friendly option for water resistance.
How should I store keys or small items safely?
The shorts feature a concealed zip back pocket specifically designed for small, important items you want to keep secure while moving.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The open hand pockets are designed for quick access to essentials, but for larger items like smartphones, it is recommended to use the secure zip pocket or a secure belt pouch.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading off the fabric.
The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the shorts and apply a standard DWR revitalizing spray.
Drawcord is loose or not holding tension.
Ensure the toggle or knot is secure; if the elastic has lost its tension, replace the cord with a high-quality outdoor-grade elastic cord.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wandermoor Wind Shorts maintain their performance, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the stretch fabric.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads off the surface after several washes, consider using a specialized DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent performance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the shorts are completely dry before packing them away to prevent mildew.
