FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very hot and humid weather?
Yes, the Omni-Wick™ technology and breathable polyester fabric are designed to keep you cool and dry in hot and humid conditions.
How do I determine my waist size?
Refer to standard men's waist sizing charts. The 'UK 34' in the product title refers to the men's waist size in UK sizing.
Can the integrated belt be removed?
Yes, the integrated belt is removable, allowing you to use your own preferred belt.
What is the difference between the cargo pocket and the security pocket?
The cargo pocket typically uses a hook-and-loop closure and is larger for general storage. The security pocket uses a zipper for more secure storage of valuables.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, these shorts are designed for moisture-wicking and breathability, not waterproofing. They will dry quickly if wet but are not designed to repel water.
What does '2-way comfort stretch' mean?
This means the fabric can stretch in two directions (typically horizontally and vertically) to provide greater comfort and freedom of movement.
How much recycled content is in these shorts?
The shorts are made with 100% recycled polyester, contributing to their sustainable material composition.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel tight despite correct size
Adjust the partial elastic waistband and the integrated belt for a more comfortable fit. Ensure the hook-and-loop cargo pocket is not overstuffed.
Moisture-wicking performance seems reduced
Ensure you are using mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can impede wicking capabilities. Wash according to care instructions.
Zipper on security pocket is stiff
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary, avoiding excessive application.
