FAQs

What is ISOFLEX Active stretch fabric?

ISOFLEX Active is a fabric technology that provides flexibility, stretch, and comfort, allowing for greater freedom of movement during physical activities. It often incorporates a blend of polyamide and elastane.

How effective is the water-repellent finish?

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish is designed to repel light rain and moisture, causing water to bead up and roll off. It is not intended for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

What does UPF 50+ protection mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, providing excellent sun protection for the skin covered by the garment.

Can I wear these shorts in very hot weather?

While the fabric is designed for active use, its quick-drying and stretch properties make them suitable for warm weather. For extremely high temperatures, consider airflow and personal comfort preferences.

How should I care for the shorts to maintain their properties?

Follow the care label instructions: machine wash at 30°C, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low. Periodically reapply a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency.

Are these shorts made from recycled materials?

Yes, the ISOFLEX fabric used in these shorts is made with recycled content.

What types of items can I store in the pockets?

The shorts feature multiple pockets, including a secure zipped leg pocket, suitable for essentials like a mobile phone, keys, wallet, or a small map.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

Wash the shorts using a technical fabric cleaner and consider applying a DWR re-proofing spray according to product instructions.

Stiffness after washing

Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid high heat ironing. Gentle stretching while damp can also help.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for fabric obstruction. Gently use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the zipper teeth.

Cons
