FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
The Rab Harpur Shorts are ideal for lightweight activities in warm weather, such as scrambling, bouldering, hiking, and general outdoor exploration where freedom of movement and breathability are key.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, the Rab Harpur Shorts are not waterproof. They are constructed from lightweight, breathable fabric designed for warm conditions.
What is the fabric made of?
The shorts are constructed with a light, airy fabric that features four-way stretch for maximum mobility.
How do I care for the Harpur Shorts?
You can machine wash them at 30°C with similar colors, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. A cool iron can be used if necessary.
Do the shorts have belt loops?
The Rab Harpur Shorts feature an elasticated waistband and do not have belt loops.
What sizes are available?
These shorts are available in various men's waist sizes, including 30, 32, 34, and 36 inches, in the colour brown.
Can I store my phone in the pockets?
The shorts have two open hand pockets and one zipped rear pocket. The zipped pocket offers more security for items like a phone, though its size may vary. Always ensure your phone fits securely before activity.
Troubleshooting
Elasticated waistband feels too tight or loose
The elasticated waistband is designed for a flexible fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If it is consistently uncomfortable, consider pairing with a belt if belt loops were present (though these shorts do not feature them) or assess if a different size would be more suitable.
Fabric feels insufficient for very rough terrain
The Harpur Shorts are designed for lightweight performance and breathability. For highly abrasive conditions or extensive off-trail bushwhacking, consider more robustly constructed trousers or shorts.
Pockets are not secure enough for valuables
The rear pocket is zipped for security. For items you need constant access to or are concerned about losing during very dynamic movements, consider using a secure zip pocket on an accompanying jacket or a small, dedicated hip belt pouch.
