FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for high-altitude trekking?

Yes, the UPF 50+ rating provides excellent protection against increased UV exposure at high altitudes, and the breathable, quick-dry fabric is ideal for varied activity levels.

Can I use these for swimming?

While the fabric is quick-dry and water-repellent, these are designed as hiking and casual shorts, not as dedicated swimwear.

What is the insect-repellent technology?

The fabric is treated with an insect-repellent finish designed to deter bugs. The efficacy lasts for a significant number of washes, though it may gradually diminish over time.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The two side pockets offer standard capacity, while the zip-fastening back pocket provides a more secure space for smaller items or a wallet.

Do these shorts run true to size?

Yes, they feature a standard mid-rise fit designed for an active silhouette. If you are between sizes, refer to the manufacturer's size chart for the best fit in the waist.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be wearing off

The H2OShield finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on low heat or ironed on a low setting, or refreshed with a specialized DWR spray.

Stubborn stains on the fabric

Spot clean with mild soap and warm water immediately after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, which will damage the protective treatments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High UPF 50+ sun protection rating
  • Effective water-repellent finish
  • Stretch fabric allows for excellent mobility
  • Includes useful accessories like a sunglasses wipe
  • Made with sustainable recycled materials

Cons

  • Technical finish may fade over time with excessive washing
  • Not intended for heavy-duty, abrasive terrain
  • Specific care instructions required to maintain efficacy

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shorts feature a standard button and zip fly with integrated belt loops, allowing for easy adjustment with your preferred belt. To maintain the integrity of the technical coatings, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish.
  2. Drying: Line dry whenever possible. Excessive high heat from a tumble dryer may damage the elastic fibers and the protective coatings.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, though the fabric is largely wrinkle-resistant due to the nylon blend.
  4. Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing them to prevent moisture-related odors or mildew.
