Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Quick-Dry Cargo Shorts are designed for active women who require reliable, versatile apparel for sailing and outdoor adventures. These shorts offer the key benefit of high-performance moisture management through advanced quick-drying fabric and integrated UPF 50+ sun protection. While they excel in active, wet environments, users should note that the technical ripstop fabric is primarily optimized for durability and drying speed rather than casual lounge-wear softness.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are water-resistant and quick-drying, they are categorized as activewear rather than dedicated board shorts, though they can handle incidental water immersion.
What does the UPF 50+ rating mean?
It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, significantly reducing the amount of radiation that reaches your skin.
How should I measure for the right fit?
Reference the size guide provided for the 30-inch waist to ensure the regular fit matches your measurements, keeping in mind the fabric has a 2-way stretch.
Can I use fabric softener with these shorts?
It is best to avoid fabric softeners as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the quick-drying performance and moisture-wicking capabilities.
Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?
No, the polyester ripstop fabric is highly resistant to wrinkling, making it an excellent choice for travel and packability.
Troubleshooting
Zipper appears to stick or catch
Clean any debris or salt buildup from the zipper teeth using fresh water and a soft brush, then ensure it is dry before zipping.
Stain accumulation on fabric
Spot treat the affected area with a mild stain remover, ensuring it is rinsed thoroughly before machine washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen Quick-Dry Cargo Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of the technical fibers and sun protection coating.
- Ironing: Avoid high-heat ironing, as this can damage the quick-dry properties and synthetic polyester fibers.
- Compatibility: These shorts are designed with standard belt loops, allowing for integration with most utility or casual belts if a more secure fit is required during high-intensity activity.
