FAQs

Can these be worn for water activities?

Yes, the synthetic material and Omni-Wick technology make them quick-drying, suitable for light water exposure.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

Most standard smartphones will fit securely in the zip-closed security pocket or the cargo pocket.

Does the waist run true to size?

The waist features a partial elastic band which offers a forgiving fit, but it is recommended to follow the specific size guide for your waist measurement.

Is the belt removable?

Yes, the integrated belt is fully removable if you prefer to use your own or wear the shorts without one.

What is the primary material?

The shorts are made from polyester, which is chosen for its durability, lightweight properties, and moisture-wicking capabilities.

Troubleshooting

Belt buckle not holding tension

Ensure the belt webbing is threaded correctly through the clasp and that the teeth are engaging the fabric firmly.

Fabric snagging on rough surfaces

While durable, avoid contact with sharp thorns or rough granite; if a minor snag occurs, carefully trim the loose fiber with sharp scissors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient moisture-wicking properties keep you cool
  • Abundant pocket storage including security options
  • Includes a removable integrated belt
  • Gusseted crotch improves freedom of movement
  • Made with recycled materials

Cons

  • Polyester fabric may have a synthetic feel

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting started with your shorts is straightforward. Simply thread the provided removable belt through the loops and adjust to your preferred tension using the buckle mechanism. Because these are built for utility, they are compatible with most standard hiking footwear and active shirts.

To ensure longevity, machine wash the shorts in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the Omni-Wick treatment. It is best to tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry to preserve the synthetic fibers and elastic components.
