FAQs
What type of activities is this skort best suited for?
The skort is ideal for running, hiking, tennis, and other active pursuits that require flexibility and comfort. Its features also make it suitable for general outdoor activities.
Is the skort fully waterproof?
No, the skort features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and moisture but is not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.
How do I care for the skort to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Periodically reapply a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency.
What is the UPF rating and what does it mean?
The skort has a UPF 50+ rating, which means it provides excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
Can I wear the skort in windy conditions?
Yes, the skort is windproof, which helps to eliminate windchill and keep you comfortable in breezy conditions.
What material is the skort made of?
The main fabric is a blend of 50% polyamide, 44% polyamide, and 6% elastane stretch fabric. The inner short is made of 86% lightweight polyester and 14% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Skort feels restrictive during activity.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check that the elasticated waist is not overly tight and that the inner shorts are properly positioned.
Water repellency seems reduced after several washes.
Reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat setting or by using a specialized DWR reproofing spray following product instructions.
Pockets feel insecure for small items.
While designed for general essentials, consider using small zip-lock bags or secure pouches for very small items like keys or coins to ensure they do not fall out during vigorous activity.
