FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense tropical hiking?
Yes, the combination of quick-dry fabric, UPF 50+ protection, and insect-repellent treatment makes them highly suitable for tropical climates.
Can I use fabric softener on these?
No, fabric softeners can damage the performance coatings like H2OShield, so it is best to avoid them.
What is the material composition?
The shorts are made from durable, stretch nylon and utilize recycled materials for sustainability.
Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
Most standard-sized smartphones will fit comfortably in the side zip pockets.
Does the insect repellent wash out?
The treatment is designed to last through many washes, though its effectiveness may gradually decrease over the long life of the garment.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems less effective over time
Wash the garment as instructed and ensure no residue from soap remains; re-activating the finish by tumble drying on low (if the label permits) or ironing can sometimes help.
Difficulty with the zip puller
Check the track for any debris or stray threads and ensure the zip is properly aligned before pulling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts use a standard button fastening and zip fly closure with included belt loops, allowing you to customize the fit with your own belt if needed. Because the fabric is engineered for performance, proper care is essential to maintain its technical properties. Wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the insect-repellent and water-repellent treatments. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the chemical finishes from the nylon. Air drying is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the fabric and the lifespan of the recycled materials.
