FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the polyester material is moisture-wicking, they are designed as hiking shorts rather than dedicated swimwear.
Is the belt removable?
Yes, the integrated belt is designed to be fully removable if you prefer to use your own belt.
How do I determine my size?
The waist size is measured in inches. These shorts feature a partial elastic waistband, which allows for a slightly more forgiving fit.
Do they provide enough stretch for climbing?
The gusset detail is specifically added to provide increased range of motion for activities like climbing or scrambling.
Will the fabric fade in the sun?
The UPF 50 protection helps protect your skin, and the synthetic material is generally colorfast, though prolonged direct exposure to intense sun over years can lead to minor fading.
Troubleshooting
Belt buckle slipping during movement
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the teeth of the buckle and pulled tight to lock in place.
Cargo pocket flap not closing securely
Remove lint or debris from the hook-and-loop surface using a stiff brush to restore its gripping power.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shorts, simply adjust the integrated removable belt to your preferred tension upon first wear. The shorts feature a standard fit that is compatible with most outdoor footwear, including hiking boots and trail runners. For care, wash the shorts in cold water with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede the performance of the Omni-Wick technology. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the longevity of the moisture-wicking properties and the integrity of the synthetic fabric. Always clear pockets before washing to prevent damage to the zip-closed security compartment.
