FAQs
What activities are these shorts best suited for?
The Montane Volantis 7" Shorts are ideal for hiking, walking, trekking, fastpacking, trail running, climbing, and swimming due to their durable, stretchy, and quick-drying nature.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the shorts feature hidden zipped pockets, offering secure storage for small essential items.
What is the material composition?
The shorts are made from GRANITE Stretch Nano fabric, which consists of 87% Recycled Nylon and 13% Elastane.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Montane. The shorts have a regular fit and an adjustable waistband for fine-tuning.
Can these shorts be used for everyday wear?
While designed for performance, their comfortable fit and durable material make them suitable for casual outdoor activities and everyday wear in warmer conditions.
How should I wash and care for these shorts?
Machine wash at 30°C with mild soap, avoiding fabric conditioner and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not wring.
Are these shorts waterproof?
These shorts are water-resistant due to their nylon material and quick-drying properties, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for breathability and freedom of movement.
Troubleshooting
Fit is too loose or too tight
Utilize the adjustable elastic waistband to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Fabric feels restrictive
Ensure the shorts are the correct size. The GRANITE Stretch Nano fabric is designed for 4-way stretch; if restriction is felt, the size may be too small.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
