FAQs
What material are the Tide Shorts made of?
The Tide Shorts are made from 100% Polyester.
Are these shorts suitable for hiking?
Yes, they are designed for active use and feature quick-dry fabric, 4-way stretch, and UV protection, making them ideal for hiking.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Mountain Warehouse. These shorts use UK women's dress sizing, so check your measurements carefully.
How should I wash these shorts?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Do the shorts have pockets?
The product description does not specify pocket details. Please refer to product images or contact customer support for this information.
What does '4-way stretch' mean?
4-way stretch means the fabric can be stretched in four directions: lengthwise and widthwise, allowing for greater freedom of movement.
Is the UV protection permanent?
UV protection integrated into fabrics typically lasts for the lifetime of the garment, provided care instructions are followed.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp after activity.
Ensure washing instructions are followed, particularly avoiding fabric softeners which can impede wicking. Check that the shorts are fully dry before storing.
Limited range of motion.
Verify that the correct size has been purchased. The 4-way stretch fabric is designed for maximum mobility, so if movement is restricted, the size may be incorrect.
Sunburn despite wearing shorts.
While the shorts offer UV protection, coverage depends on fit. Ensure the shorts cover the intended area adequately. For extended or intense sun exposure, consider additional sun protection measures.
Fabric pilling after several washes.
Follow the recommended care instructions. Washing with rougher items or using harsh detergents can contribute to pilling. Gentle cycle and cold water are recommended.
