FAQs

What type of material are these shorts made from?

The shorts are made from an ultra-light, stretch nylon fabric that is quick-drying and wrinkle-resistant.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are designed primarily for casual wear and not as dedicated swimwear. They can be worn for light water activities and will dry quickly afterward.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by RRD for specific measurements. It's recommended to check waist and inseam measurements against your own.

Can I wear these shorts in very hot weather?

The ultra-light fabric is designed for warm weather. However, nylon is less breathable than natural fibers, so for extremely high temperatures, personal comfort may vary.

What is the closure system for the fly?

The shorts feature a concealed front button fly closure.

How many pockets do the shorts have?

They have two side slash pockets and two rear welt pockets.

What is the significance of the micro-injected logo?

The micro-injected logo is a subtle branding element located on the back pocket, adding a refined touch without being overly conspicuous.

Troubleshooting

Shorts appear wrinkled after washing.

While wrinkle-resistant, excessive agitation or improper drying can cause minor wrinkles. Try removing them from the dryer promptly and smoothing them out, or hang them to dry. A low-heat iron can be used if necessary.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect nylon. Air drying can help maintain fabric softness. Re-wash with a gentle cycle if stiffness persists.

Color fading.

Wash with similar colors in cold water and use a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as UV rays can degrade color over time.
