FAQs

What is Omni-Wick™ technology?

Omni-Wick™ is a fabric technology designed to pull moisture away from the body and facilitate rapid evaporation, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Are these shorts suitable for cold weather?

These shorts are best suited for warm and moderate weather due to their focus on breathability and quick-drying properties. They may not provide adequate insulation for cold conditions.

How do I adjust the fit of the shorts?

The shorts feature an elastic waistband with an internal drawcord. You can tighten or loosen the drawcord to achieve your desired fit.

What material are the shorts made of?

The shell of the shorts is made from 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, providing a balance of durability, flexibility, and comfort.

Can I wear these for activities other than hiking?

Yes, their moisture-wicking and breathable features make them suitable for various outdoor activities like camping, fishing, or general travel in warm weather.

How should I care for these shorts to maintain their performance?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning, as these can hinder the Omni-Wick™ function.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel damp after activity.

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners that can block the Omni-Wick™ technology. Allow ample time for drying after washing.

Waistband feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the internal drawcord for a secure fit. If the waistband is consistently too loose even when tied, consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate.

Reduced breathability over time.

Over time, residues from detergents or body oils can affect fabric performance. Perform a deep clean by washing with a performance fabric wash or a small amount of mild detergent, and rinse thoroughly.

  • Do not iron.
  • Do not dry clean.
