FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and made of synthetic materials, they are designed as hiking shorts and do not have a mesh liner or specific saltwater resistance.
Can I remove the belt?

How do I measure my size?
Measure around your natural waistline, keeping the tape comfortably loose. For this size 30 model, ensure your measurement aligns closely with that waist dimension.
What is the fit like?
These shorts feature a Regular fit, meaning they offer a standard, comfortable cut that is neither too baggy nor too tight.
Does the fabric provide sun protection?
The primary focus of this material is moisture-wicking; while synthetic fabrics provide some sun barrier, they are not explicitly rated as UPF gear.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. Use cold water and gentle cycle settings to maintain fabric integrity.
Troubleshooting
Belt buckle slipping during movement
Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the buckle and pulled taut. If it persists, double back the end of the belt through the buckle to increase friction.
Cargo pocket flap not closing securely
Check the hook and loop closure for debris like lint or grass. Use a soft brush to clear the fibers to ensure a strong grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, adjust the integrated belt while wearing the shorts to your desired tension. These shorts feature a standard waist sizing; it is recommended to verify your waist measurement against the specific size guide for a 30-inch fit. For care, wash the shorts in cold water with similar colors and avoid harsh bleaches to protect the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fabric. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to ensure the longevity of the synthetic fibers and the integrity of the integrated belt buckle.
