Full details

Featuring advanced sweat-wicking technology and UPF 50 protection, these shorts excel in hot, sunny environments by keeping you dry and shielded from harmful rays.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and water-resistant, they are designed primarily for hiking and trekking rather than as dedicated swimwear.
Can I remove the built-in belt?
Yes, the belt is removable and can be swapped for another if preferred.
Do these shorts run true to size?
They feature a regular fit with a partial elastic waist, which allows for a flexible fit within the designated waist size.
How should I wash them to maintain the UPF rating?
Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleaching or harsh chemicals, and air dry whenever possible.
What is the material composition?
The shorts are made from durable, lightweight polyester, often utilizing recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Belt is sliding through the loops or losing tension
Ensure the belt webbing is fed through the buckle properly and that the locking mechanism is engaged securely.
Fabric feels damp after long hikes
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath, as cotton layers will trap moisture and prevent the shorts from performing their intended wicking function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, utilize the built-in adjustable belt to dial in your waist size after using the partial elastic waistband to find your baseline comfort. Since these are high-performance garments, care is straightforward: machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers. Hang drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the longevity of the UPF protection coating.
