FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the Rab Harpur Shorts are constructed with a light, airy fabric designed to provide excellent airflow and keep you cool in warm conditions.

What type of activities are these shorts best for?

They are ideal for activities requiring freedom of movement and breathability, such as hiking, scrambling, climbing, and general outdoor exploration in warmer temperatures.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. The elasticated waistband provides some adjustability for comfort.

Can I wear these shorts for swimming?

While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are not specifically designed as swimwear. They are intended for dry-land outdoor activities.

What is the material of the shorts?

The shorts are constructed with an exceptionally stretchy, light, and airy fabric that allows for four-way stretch.

How many pockets do the shorts have?

The Rab Harpur Shorts feature two open hand pockets and one zipped rear pocket for storage.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose

The elasticated waistband offers some flexibility. For a tighter fit, ensure the waistband is positioned correctly. If they feel consistently too tight or loose for your comfort, consider if another size might be more suitable.

Fabric snagging or tearing

The lightweight fabric is designed for breathability and stretch. Avoid direct contact with rough surfaces like sharp rocks or abrasive materials to minimize the risk of snags. If a tear occurs, consider a repair kit suitable for technical outdoor fabrics.

Pockets not securely holding items

Utilize the zipped rear pocket for items that need secure storage, such as keys or a wallet. The open hand pockets are best suited for items you need to access quickly and infrequently, or for temporary storage.
