Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Tofino Solen Shorts are high-performance technical apparel designed for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, camping, or active travel. These shorts offer a significant advantage through their 4-way stretch fabric and S.Café technology, providing excellent mobility and moisture management while being environmentally conscious. One notable caveat is that the 15.5 cm inseam offers a shorter, athletic cut that may not suit those who prefer longer, knee-length coverage.

FAQs
What does the 15.5 cm inseam mean?
The inseam length is approximately 6 inches, resulting in a short that sits well above the knee.
What is S.Café technology?
It is a fabric treatment using repurposed coffee grounds to provide natural, permanent odor control and UV protection.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and made of polyester, they are designed as hiking shorts rather than dedicated board shorts.
How should I choose my size?
These follow a regular fit. If you are between sizes, use the drawcord to dial in the fit of the elastic waist.
Is the material waterproof?
The material is designed to be quick-drying and breathable, but it is not treated with a waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord gets stuck inside the waistband
Use a safety pin to guide the drawstring end back through the opening or consider using a small plastic toggle to prevent the ends from pulling through.
Fabric snagging on rough surfaces
While durable, the lightweight material can snag on sharp granite. Avoid sliding directly on jagged rock surfaces to maintain the fabric integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Tofino Solen Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash with like colors in cool water to protect the technical fibers.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the integrity of the fabric; if machine drying, use a low-heat setting.
- Fit Adjustment: Utilize the internal drawcord to tighten the elastic waistband for high-intensity activities like trail running or bouldering.
- Storage: Fold or roll the shorts for packing; the lightweight material is wrinkle-resistant and packs down into a small footprint in your backpack.
