FAQs
Can I wear these shorts for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-dry and moisture-wicking, they are designed primarily as technical hiking shorts rather than dedicated boardshorts. They can be worn in water, but rinse them with fresh water afterward to remove salt or chlorine.
What does the UPF 50+ rating mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing an excellent level of protection for your skin in exposed outdoor conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts feature a regular fit and an elastic waist. Stick to your standard size as the stretch fabric and adjustable drawcord allow for a flexible range of fit.
Is the material prone to tearing?
The polyester blend is durable for standard outdoor activities. However, it is not puncture-proof; avoid heavy contact with sharp rocks or thorns to preserve the integrity of the fabric.
Does the fabric shrink in the wash?
Polyester is naturally resistant to shrinking, but you should always follow the care instructions. Avoid high-heat drying, which can damage the synthetic fibers over time.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long wear
Ensure you are not wearing heavy cotton base layers underneath, which trap moisture. The S.Café fabric works best when it can wick moisture directly to the surface.
Drawcord is difficult to untie
Avoid double-knotting the drawcord. Use a simple slip-knot that provides enough tension to stay secure but remains easy to pull release.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Tofino Solen Shorts, always check the interior wash label for specific temperature settings. Wash with similar synthetic materials to avoid friction damage from zippers or metal hardware on other clothing. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the quick-dry technology. If the shorts require adjustment, use the internal drawcord to cinch the elastic waist before beginning your activity to prevent slippage during intense movement.
