FAQs
What does HYDROFREE DWR technology do?
HYDROFREE DWR (Durable Water Repellent) technology is a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the material from absorbing moisture and keeping you drier during light rain or splashes.
Are these shorts suitable for intense sports like running?
Yes, the lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying properties make them suitable for various intense activities, including running, training, and hiking. The regular fit ensures comfort and freedom of movement.
How should I wash these shorts to maintain their properties?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning, as these can degrade the DWR treatment and moisture-wicking capabilities.
What is the fit of these shorts?
The shorts feature a Regular Fit, designed to provide a comfortable and standard silhouette that allows for ease of movement without being too tight or too loose.
Are the cargo pockets waterproof?
The cargo pockets are zippered for secure storage, but the fabric itself is water-repellent, not waterproof. While they offer protection against light moisture, they are not designed to keep contents dry in heavy rain or submersion.
What material are the shorts made from?
The shorts are made from 100% durable nylon.
What is the color "Phantom"?
Phantom is a deep, dark grey color that is highly versatile and fits well with a modern, utilitarian or techwear aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The DWR coating may wear off over time. Consider applying a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel to restore water repellency.
Shorts feel damp after activity.
Ensure the moisture-wicking properties are not hindered by fabric softeners or detergent residue. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Check if the activity level exceeds the fabric's rapid-drying capacity.
Zipper on cargo pocket is stiff.
Gently work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth.
