These shorts deliver exceptional comfort and breathability, making them an ideal choice for hiking, trekking, or casual daily wear in warmer climates.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the polyester fabric is quick-drying, these are designed as athletic/outdoor shorts rather than dedicated swimwear.
Does the size L fit true to standard Nike sizing?
Yes, these follow the standard Nike regular fit sizing for men's apparel.
How often should I wash these shorts?
Wash after every use if you have been perspiring heavily, or as needed to remove trail dust and dirt.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The polyester construction offers a natural range of motion and flexibility for active use.
Can I use fabric softener?
It is recommended to avoid fabric softeners, as they can leave a residue that blocks the moisture-wicking pores of the Dri-FIT material.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp after intense activity
Ensure you are not wearing heavy cotton base layers underneath, as these absorb sweat and negate the effect of the Dri-FIT fabric.
Fabric has a slight snag or pull
Use a small pair of embroidery scissors to carefully trim the snagged thread, being careful not to cut the main fabric weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts are ready to wear immediately upon purchase. To ensure the longevity of the Dri-FIT technology, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach or heavy fabric softeners as these can clog the technical fibers and diminish moisture-wicking properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry in the shade to maintain fabric integrity.
- Storage: Fold or hang in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for long-term storage.
