FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very cold weather?
These shorts are designed for wet weather and moderate temperatures. For very cold conditions, they are best used as an outer layer over thermal leggings.
How do I clean the DryVent fabric?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.
What is the primary intended use for these shorts?
These shorts are primarily designed for hiking and trekking, offering protection from rain and wind while allowing for freedom of movement.
Can I wear these for running?
While they offer flexibility, they are not specifically designed as running shorts. The ankle zips and standard fit might be less ideal for high-intensity running compared to dedicated running apparel.
How do the ankle zips work?
The ankle zips run along the length of the lower leg and allow you to open the shorts from the ankle upwards, making them easier to put on or take off over hiking boots.
What does the DWR finish do?
DWR stands for Durable Water-Repellent. This finish causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric surface, helping to keep you dry from light rain and splashes.
Is the mesh lining insulated?
No, the mesh lining is for breathability and comfort, not insulation. It helps to wick moisture away from the skin.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing
Reapply a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish using a commercial product designed for outdoor apparel, following product instructions carefully.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
Fit is too loose or too tight
Adjust the internal drawcord at the waist for a tighter fit. For minor looseness, the Velcro ankle tabs can sometimes be cinched for a more secure feel around footwear, but the primary waist adjustment is key.
