Featuring a high-performance two-tone stretch fabric with a ripstop finish, these shorts are ideal for hiking, climbing, and general trail use.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense climbing?
Yes, the stretch fabric and ripstop construction are specifically designed for the high range of motion and durability required for climbing.
Can I wear a different belt with these?
The shorts come with an integrated buckle waistband; while it is designed for a perfect fit, you may be limited by the belt loops provided.
How do I know if the DWR finish is working?
Water should bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric. If the fabric darkens as it absorbs water, the DWR finish likely needs reapplication.
Are the pockets completely waterproof?
The pockets are water-resistant with bonded zippers, which provides high protection, but they are not fully submersible.
Is the fit true to size?
The shorts are designed with a regular fit; if you are between sizes, consider the adjustability provided by the integrated belt.
What is the primary material?
They are made from a high-performance two-tone stretch fabric with a ripstop finish for durability.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading up
The DWR finish may need reactivation; wash with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on a low setting.
Buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the webbing is not twisted within the buckle mechanism and check for debris or grit in the locking teeth.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; gently clear any dust or dirt from the teeth using a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Big Wall Shorts, start by adjusting the integrated buckle belt for a snug fit before hitting the trail. For maintenance, machine wash in cold water using a technical detergent designed for outdoor apparel, as standard detergents can degrade the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. To reactivate the DWR finish, you can tumble dry the shorts on a low heat setting once they are clean. Always check that the zips are fully closed before washing to prevent damage to the bonded seams.
