FAQs

What type of fabric are these shorts made from?

The shorts are made from 100% Recycled Polyester, offering durability and a sustainable option.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart for men's waist measurements. It's recommended to measure your waist and compare it to the chart. Consider the partial elastic waistband for added flexibility.

Can I remove the belt?

Yes, the shorts come with an integrated removable belt that can be detached if you prefer to use your own or wear the shorts without one.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While they are quick-drying, they are designed primarily for hiking and outdoor activities, not as dedicated swimwear. They do not have a built-in liner.

How protective are they against insects?

These shorts offer sun protection but are not specifically treated for insect repellency.

What is the benefit of the 'gusset detail'?

The gusset detail refers to an extra panel of fabric sewn into the crotch area, which improves freedom of movement and reduces stress on the seams during activity.

Can I wear these in very hot and humid conditions?

Yes, the Omni-Wick technology and breathable polyester fabric are specifically designed to help keep you cool and dry in hot and humid conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel tight after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly avoiding fabric softeners and high heat drying. Lay flat or hang to dry if possible.

Zipper on security pocket is stiff.

Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth.

Moisture-wicking not as effective.

Check for residue from detergents or fabric softeners. Wash the shorts again with a mild detergent and no additives. Ensure the fabric is not coated with sunscreen or body oils.

Hook-and-loop closure on cargo pocket is weak.

Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces by brushing away any lint or debris. You can also try rubbing a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the surfaces to refresh their grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent sun protection with UPF 50 rating.
  • Effective moisture-wicking keeps you dry in warm conditions.
  • Comfortable stretch fabric allows for ease of movement.
  • Ample and secure storage options with multiple pockets.
  • Adjustable and comfortable fit due to partial elastic waist and removable belt.
  • Environmentally conscious design using recycled polyester.

Cons

  • May require careful attention to sizing for the best fit.
  • Cargo pocket closure is hook-and-loop, which can be noisy.
  • Not insulated, best suited for warmer weather conditions.
  • Belt might be less durable than a standalone belt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shorts require no assembly. They are ready to wear out of the package. The integrated removable belt can be adjusted for a secure fit or removed entirely if desired.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these shorts are suitable for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, camping, fishing, and casual wear. They pair well with t-shirts, performance tops, and hiking boots.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the Omni-Wick technology and the integrity of the fabric:

  1. Machine wash cold with like colors.
  2. Use a mild detergent.
  3. Do NOT use fabric softeners, as they can clog the micro-pores and reduce breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities.
  4. Do NOT bleach.
  5. Tumble dry low or hang dry for best results and longevity.
  6. Iron on low if necessary, avoiding prints or trims.
