FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for climbing?
Yes, the 2-way stretch and refined gusset construction make them well-suited for climbing and scrambling where mobility is key.
Is the material waterproof?
The nylon material is breathable and hardwearing, but it is not waterproof. It is designed to dry quickly if it gets wet.
How do I determine my size?
The Montane Caelum Shorts follow standard sizing. Refer to the specific size guide to match your measurements to the Regular fit.
Can I use these for water sports?
While the nylon material is quick-drying, these are primarily engineered for hiking and mountain trails.
Does the waistband have belt loops?
The design features a half-exposed and half-covered waist belt system designed for a secure, integrated fit.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels restrictive during high steps
Ensure the waistband is positioned correctly on your hips; if the shorts are worn too low, the gusset and articulation may not align with your body.
Zipped pocket sticks
Check for debris or dirt caught in the zipper teeth. Clean gently with a soft brush and ensure no stray threads are trapped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts are designed for an immediate, true-to-size regular fit. Because they feature a specialized waistband, adjust the fit once you are dressed to ensure the belt sits comfortably against your hips without digging in.
For care and maintenance, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the breathable finish of the nylon.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the stretch fibers. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading over extended periods.
