FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the Hydrofree DWR coating offers some water resistance, these shorts are not designed as swimwear and may not dry as quickly as specialized swim shorts.

What is the primary benefit of the Hydrofree DWR coating?

The Hydrofree DWR coating helps repel light moisture, such as rain or splashes, keeping the fabric drier for longer.

How do I know if the regular fit is right for me?

Can I wear these shorts in very hot weather?

Yes, the breathable and lightweight fabric makes them suitable for hot weather, as it allows for good air circulation and quick drying.

How should I clean the shorts to maintain their features?

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning to preserve the DWR coating and moisture-wicking properties.

What is the material composition?

The shorts are made from 100% Nylon.

Do the cargo pockets have zippers?

Yes, the shorts feature zip cargo pockets for secure storage of your belongings.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency decreasing over time

Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics following product instructions. Ensure shorts are clean before application.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking properties. Tumble dry on low heat.
