FAQs

What material are the Portwest Granite Shorts made from?

The shorts are made from a hard-wearing durable twill fabric consisting of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with abrasion-resistant Oxford polyester used for reinforcement.

How many pockets do these shorts have?

The Portwest Granite Shorts feature a total of 10 pockets for ample storage.

Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?

They are designed with warmer weather in mind, incorporating a polycotton blend and 50+ UPF rated fabric for UV protection. However, for extreme conditions, breathability may vary based on individual tolerance.

How should I clean and care for these shorts?

Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron at a medium temperature. Do not dry clean. Wash with similar colors.

Do the holster pockets detach?

The holster pockets are described as 'swing away', meaning they can be moved or adjusted for convenience, but they are typically attached to the shorts.

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a 50+ UPF rating, which means it blocks 98% of UV rays.

Can I store my smartphone in these shorts?

Yes, the shorts have multiple pockets, including specific ones designed to accommodate smartphone dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Pockets feel restrictive

Ensure you are using the swing-away holster pockets for larger tools and that other items are placed securely within the dedicated pockets to maintain a streamlined profile.

Waistband feels loose

The half-elasticated waist provides some flexibility. For a tighter fit, consider wearing a belt through the belt loops. The gripper elastic aims to keep garments in place.

Fabric seems warm

While designed for warmer weather, the polycotton blend offers durability. For extreme heat, consider lighter weight options if available, or ensure adequate hydration and ventilation during use.
