FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for trekking in very hot weather?

The shorts are lightweight and quick-drying, making them suitable for warm weather. However, for extreme heat, some users might prefer even lighter or shorter styles. The UV protection is beneficial in any sunny condition.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by Mountain Warehouse. The elastic waistband offers some flexibility, but ensuring the initial fit is correct is recommended for comfort.

What type of activities are these shorts best for?

They are ideal for hiking, walking, travelling, and general outdoor activities. They also serve well as comfortable casual wear for everyday use.

Do the zipped pockets fit a standard smartphone?

The zipped pockets are designed for secure storage of essentials. While they can often fit standard smartphones, larger models might be a tight fit. It's best to check dimensions if this is a primary concern.

What is the warranty on these shorts?

The product includes a 2-year warranty, providing peace of mind regarding quality and manufacturing defects.

Can these shorts be worn for swimming?

While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are not designed as swimwear. They are intended for hiking and casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the elastic waistband for a better fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements.

Fabric is not drying as quickly as expected

Ensure the shorts are not heavily saturated with water. Wring out excess water before air drying. Machine drying on a low heat can speed up the process.

Zipper on pockets is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil lead) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.
