FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the quick-drying polyester fabric makes them better than cotton, they are designed primarily for hiking and casual wear rather than as dedicated swim trunks.
Can the belt be removed?
Yes, the belt is fully removable, allowing you to use it on other trousers or replace it with a belt of your choice.
How do I know what size to order?
These shorts are listed with standard UK waist sizes. We recommend measuring your natural waistline and comparing it to the size label for an accurate fit.
Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?
The recycled polyester is highly resistant to wrinkles, making these an excellent choice for travel as they pack down small and remain tidy.
Does the UPF protection wear off?
The UPF 50 rating is woven into the construction of the fabric and remains effective for the lifetime of the garment under normal wear and care.
Troubleshooting
Belt slips during activity
Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the buckle and pulled taut. If it persists, double-loop the end through the buckle frame.
Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing
Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners. Air drying can often help the fibers maintain their intended texture better than high-heat machine drying.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking properties for humid conditions

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, adjust the integrated belt while wearing the shorts to ensure the partial elastic waistband sits comfortably against your waist without feeling restrictive.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
- Use mild detergents; avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the fabric.
- Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the longevity of the synthetic fibers.
- Do not iron or bleach, as this can damage the UPF treatment.
