FAQs
What type of activities are the Rab Harpur Shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for warm-weather activities requiring high mobility, such as climbing, bouldering, scrambling, hiking, and general outdoor exploration.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Rab sizing chart, typically available on the retailer's website or the Rab official site, and measure your waist and inseam accordingly.
Can I wear these shorts in cooler weather?
While they are designed for warm conditions, they can be layered over thermal base layers for cooler, but not cold, weather activities. They offer minimal insulation on their own.
Are the pockets secure enough for valuables?
The rear pocket features a zipper for secure storage of essentials like keys or a phone. The hand pockets are open and best suited for items needed frequently.
What is the main benefit of the split hem design?
The split hem allows for greater freedom of movement, enabling unrestricted strides and enhanced mobility during dynamic activities.
How should I clean the shorts to maintain their properties?
Machine wash on a cold setting (30°C) with a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and consider if a different size would offer a more comfortable fit for your activity.
Fabric feels less breathable over time
Ensure you are washing the shorts with a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Residue can impact breathability. Follow the care instructions for optimal fabric performance.
Zipper on rear pocket is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric obstruction in the zipper. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and operate the zipper gently.
