Are these shorts suitable for cold weather?

How do I adjust the waistband?
The shorts feature an elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawstring. You can tighten or loosen the fit by adjusting the drawstring to your preference.
What kind of activities are these shorts best for?
They are ideal for hiking, walking, camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities in warm or moderate temperatures.
Can I wear these for casual everyday use?
Yes, their comfortable fit and quick-drying fabric make them suitable for casual everyday wear, especially during warmer months.
How should I wash and care for these shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only when needed, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean.
What sizes are available?

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp after activity.
Ensure the Omni-Wick™ technology is functioning optimally by washing according to care instructions. Excessive detergent buildup can impede performance. Consider a gentle wash cycle with minimal, appropriate detergent.
Waistband is too loose or too tight.
Adjust the internal drawstring to find a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the drawstring is properly threaded and tied if necessary.
