Mountain Equipment Ibex Mountain Shorts - Black - 38W

These shorts are ideal for hiking, trekking, climbing, scrambling, and general outdoor exploration where durability, freedom of movement, and weather resistance are important.

Refer to the product's sizing chart, which typically aligns with standard UK men's waist measurements. The inseam measurement is 27.5cm / 11in.

The shorts feature a PFAS-free DWR treatment, offering water resistance against light showers and splashes. They are not designed to be fully waterproof like a hardshell garment.

Yes, the shorts come with an integrated low-profile belt. While an additional belt can be worn, the integrated one is designed to sit comfortably under packs and harnesses.

Alpine Fit refers to a cut designed for maximum freedom of movement during athletic activities, minimizing excess fabric to prevent snagging and improve performance.

The mesh lining in the thigh pockets allows for additional airflow and ventilation when the pockets are open, helping to regulate temperature and enhance comfort during strenuous activity.

The Product Lifetime Guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship for the expected lifespan of the product, reflecting Mountain Equipment's commitment to quality and durability.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught. If needed, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.

Ensure the waist is correctly adjusted and not too tight. Verify that the gusseted crotch is not bunching. The Alpine Fit is designed for athletic movement, so confirm you are using them for intended activities.

Wash the shorts according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear if performance does not improve after washing.
