FAQs
What is Omni-Wick™ technology?
Omni-Wick™ is a fabric technology that pulls moisture away from the body and disperses it throughout the fabric surface, allowing for rapid evaporation and keeping you dry and comfortable.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your waist accurately. The partial elastic waist and removable belt offer some adjustability, but a correct base size is recommended for optimal comfort.
Can I wear these in the water?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are primarily designed for walking and hiking. They are not specifically intended as swimwear, but can tolerate getting wet and drying quickly.
How do I care for the hook and loop fasteners on the cargo pockets?
To maintain the effectiveness of hook and loop fasteners, ensure they are clean and free from lint or debris. Fasten them before washing to prevent them from snagging on other items.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot and humid weather?
Yes, the combination of UPF 50 sun protection and Omni-Wick™ technology makes them well-suited for hot and humid conditions, helping to keep you cool and protected.
What does '2-way comfort stretch' mean?
This refers to the fabric's ability to stretch in two directions (typically across the width and lengthwise), providing greater comfort and freedom of movement during physical activities.
Is the belt removable?
Yes, the shorts come with an integrated, removable belt that can be adjusted or replaced if desired.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose at the waist.
Adjust the integrated removable belt for a customized fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct for your waist measurement.
Fabric feels damp after moderate activity.
Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impede moisture-wicking. If the problem continues, the fabric may be saturated beyond its capacity during very intense activity.
Pockets are difficult to close or secure.
Check that pocket contents are not obstructing the closure mechanism. Ensure zippers are not damaged and hook and loop fasteners are clean and free of debris.
Sun protection seems inadequate.
Verify that the UPF 50 rating is effective for your exposure level. Reapply sunscreen to exposed skin areas not covered by the shorts, as clothing may not provide 100% protection in all circumstances.
