FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for cold weather?
These shorts are made from lightweight polyester and are best suited for warmer or changeable weather conditions. For cold weather, layering with thermal base layers underneath is recommended.
How do I know if the 'Slim' fit is right for me?
The 'Slim' fit is designed for a more tailored look and feel. If you prefer a looser fit or have a larger build, you may find a 'Regular' fit more comfortable.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are designed primarily for hiking and walking. They are not specifically made for swimming and may not offer the same comfort or performance as swimwear.
How durable is the water-repellent finish?
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish is designed to last through several washes, but its effectiveness will gradually decrease over time. Re-application of a DWR treatment can restore its performance.
What kind of items can I safely store in the zipped pockets?
The zipped pockets are ideal for securing smaller items such as keys, a mobile phone, a wallet, or a small compass. Avoid carrying sharp objects that could potentially damage the fabric or zip.
Are these shorts breathable?
Yes, the lightweight woven polyester fabric offers good breathability, which helps to keep you comfortable during physical activity by allowing air to circulate.
What is the UPF rating and why is it important?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV radiation, providing excellent protection for your skin during outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive during movement
Ensure the part-elasticated waist is correctly positioned. If the slim fit is too tight, consider trying a different size or a model with a regular fit.
Water repellency seems reduced
This is normal after multiple washes. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment spray according to the product instructions.
Pockets feel bulky
Ensure items are placed neatly within the pockets and that the zips are fully closed. Avoid overstuffing the pockets.
Creases are still visible after unpacking
While crease-resistant, some minor creases may appear after prolonged packing. A quick steam or a very low-heat iron can usually resolve this.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with similar colours.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct high heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Avoid ironing directly over any printed logos or zipped areas.
- Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, consider using a re-proofing spray after several washes, following the product instructions.
