FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-dry, they are designed as lifestyle and hiking shorts rather than dedicated swimwear. They can handle splashes, but the fabric is not chlorine-resistant.
What material are the Tide Shorts made from?
They are constructed from durable, high-performance polyester designed for moisture management and flexibility.
Do these shorts have a built-in liner?
No, these are standard casual/active shorts and do not feature an internal mesh liner.
Are they true to size?
The Mountain Warehouse Tide range is designed for a standard fit. If you prefer a looser feel for hiking, some customers opt to size up.
How do I maintain the UV protection?
The UV protection is inherent in the fabric construction. Simply follow regular care instructions to keep the garment clean and intact.
Can I wear these for long-distance hiking?
Yes, their lightweight and moisture-wicking properties make them an excellent choice for summer hiking where breathability is essential.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn stains on the fabric
Pre-treat the affected area with a gentle garment spot cleaner before washing; avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the weave.
Fabric feels less stretchy after long-term use
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during the wash cycle, as this can coat the fibers and restrict their natural stretch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts do not require any specific 'setup'—they are ready to wear immediately upon arrival. For long-term care and to preserve the technical features of the fabric, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain the elasticity of the fabric.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to extend the life of the material, though they can be tumble dried on low heat if necessary.
- Avoid Bleach: Never use bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking and UV-protective coatings.
- Storage: Fold or hang the shorts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
