FAQs
Can I remove the belt?
Yes, the belt is fully removable and can be swapped for a different belt if desired.
Is the material waterproof?
The fabric is designed for moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, but it is not waterproof.
How should I wash these to keep them performing well?
Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low.
What does the UPF 50 rating mean?
It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent sun protection.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and made of polyester, they are designed primarily for hiking and walking, not as dedicated swimwear.
What is the fit like?
They feature a regular fit, providing a comfortable balance between loose and tailored.
Troubleshooting
Belt buckle slipping during movement
Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the buckle teeth; if it continues to slip, check for debris inside the buckle mechanism.
Fabric feels damp after long use
Ensure you are not wearing heavy cotton base layers underneath, which may trap moisture, and check that the fabric has not been compromised by fabric softener residue.

Care Instructions
To maintain the integrity of the moisture-wicking technology and sun protection:
