FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are made of quick-drying polyester, they are designed primarily for hiking and are not intended to be used as dedicated swimwear.
Can I remove the built-in belt?
Yes, the belt is fully removable and can be taken out if you prefer to use your own or wear the shorts without one.
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, meaning the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays.
How should I wash them to preserve the wicking properties?
Wash with similar colors in cold water and avoid using fabric softeners, as they leave a residue that clogs the moisture-wicking pores.
Do the pockets have zippers?
The shorts feature a dedicated zip-closed security pocket for valuables, while the cargo pockets utilize a hook-and-loop closure.
Troubleshooting
Belt buckle keeps slipping
Ensure the belt webbing is threaded correctly through the clasp; if the belt is worn out, it is fully removable and replaceable with any standard 1-inch utility belt.
Fabric snagged on trail brush
Use a pair of sharp sewing scissors to carefully trim the snagged thread; avoid pulling the thread, as this may create a run in the fabric weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is easy with the partial elastic waistband, which provides a flexible, forgiving fit that moves with you. The included removable belt allows for finer adjustments to ensure the shorts stay in place during intense activity. To care for these shorts, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can interfere with the performance of the moisture-wicking technology. Hang drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the lifespan of the synthetic fibers, though they can be tumble-dried on a low, delicate setting if necessary.
