FAQs

What activities are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are ideal for high-energy activities such as running, hiking, training, and general fitness activities due to their lightweight, flexible, and water-repellent design.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available on their website or product pages. Consider your waist and hip measurements for the most accurate fit. The elasticated waistband offers some adjustability.

Can I store my phone in the zipped pocket?

The zipped pocket is described as discreet and intended for small essentials like keys. It may not be large enough to comfortably or securely store most modern smartphones.

Are these shorts suitable for cold weather?

These shorts are lightweight and designed for active use, offering limited insulation. They are best suited for mild to warm weather or can be layered over thermal base layers for cooler conditions.

What does 'PFAS Compliant' mean?

PFAS compliant means that the product has been manufactured without the use of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are often used in water-repellent treatments but are subject to environmental regulations.

How should I clean the shorts to maintain their water-repellency?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air drying or low tumble drying is recommended. For best results in maintaining water-repellency, avoid excessive washing and consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment if needed.

What is the material of the shorts?

The shorts are made from 100% durable polyester fabric.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel restrictive during activity.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elasticated waistband should provide flexibility, but a size too small can cause restriction. Check if the fabric is caught on anything.

Water-repellent finish seems less effective.

The water-repellent finish can degrade over time with washing. Consider using a specialized fabric re-proofer spray designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.

Zipped pocket is difficult to close or open.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Elasticated waistband feels too loose or too tight.

The waistband is designed for a secure fit. If it feels too loose, ensure the shorts are not excessively worn. If too tight, consider if a different size might be more comfortable, though the elastic aims for a adaptable fit.
