FAQs
What is the main benefit of the 4-Way-Stretch fabric?
The 4-Way-Stretch fabric allows the material to stretch in all directions (lengthways and widthways), providing enhanced comfort, flexibility, and an ideal fit during movement.
Are these shorts suitable for hiking?
Yes, the shorts are suitable for light hiking due to their lightweight, durable, and flexible nature. However, for strenuous or technical hikes, more specialized hiking apparel might be preferable.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Mountain Warehouse. Ensure you measure your waist and hips accurately to select the best fit, considering the UK dress size.
What is the UPF 50+ rating for?
The UPF 50+ rating indicates a very high level of protection against the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, shielding your skin from sun damage during outdoor activities.
Can I wear these shorts in the water?
While the fabric is comfortable and quick-drying, these shorts are primarily designed for casual wear and light outdoor activities, not as swimwear. They may not hold up to prolonged submersion or chlorine.
What is the warranty period for these shorts?

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 4-Way-Stretch fabric offers flexibility, but proper sizing is still key for comfort. Consider trying a size up if you prefer a looser fit.
Fabric has lost some stretch after washing.
Follow the care instructions carefully. Avoid high heat in the dryer, as excessive heat can degrade the spandex fibers. Air drying or low-heat tumble drying is recommended.
Discoloration after washing.
Wash with similar colors, especially for the first few washes. Check the care label for specific colorfastness recommendations.
