FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the quick-dry material handles moisture well, they are designed primarily as trekking shorts and lack a mesh liner for dedicated swim use.
How do I determine the correct size?
These shorts feature a partial elastic waist. If you are between sizes, the elastic provides a small degree of flexibility, but generally, choose your standard waist measurement.
Is the belt removable?
Yes, the integrated belt is designed to be fully removable if you prefer to use your own belt.
Does the fabric wrinkle easily?
No, the polyester construction is highly resistant to wrinkling, making these shorts an excellent choice for travel and packing.
What is the UPF 50 protection?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing a high level of protection for your legs while outdoors.
Can I iron these shorts?
It is generally not recommended to iron technical polyester fabrics. If necessary, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth.
Troubleshooting
Belt buckle slipping or loosening
Ensure the belt webbing is threaded correctly through the teeth of the buckle and pulled taut; if it continues to slip, check for debris caught in the buckle mechanism.
Fabric snagging on rough surfaces
While durable, the polyester weave can snag on sharp rocks or thorns. If a thread pulls, use a small pair of nail scissors to carefully trim it rather than pulling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the integrated removable belt to secure the waist, utilizing the partial elastic back for comfort during movement. For care, wash in cold water with similar colors to maintain the integrity of the moisture-wicking treatment. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and diminish the Omni-Wick effectiveness. The shorts are designed to be quick-drying, so air-drying is recommended over high-heat machine drying to prevent premature wear on the recycled polyester fabric.
