FAQs

What activities are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are ideal for a range of casual and active pursuits, including walking, light hiking, gardening, travelling, or simply comfortable everyday wear, especially in warmer weather.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements. The elasticated waist provides some flexibility, but checking your hip and waist measurements against the chart is recommended.

Can these shorts be worn for swimming?

While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are not designed as swimwear. They are best suited for land-based activities.

What is the main benefit of the 4-way stretch material?

The 4-way stretch allows the fabric to move and expand in all directions, providing maximum comfort and freedom of movement without restriction during any activity.

How effective is the UV protection?

The shorts offer built-in UV protection, which helps to shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays. However, for prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, additional sun protection measures are advisable.

Are these shorts suitable for very hot and humid weather?

The quick-dry fabric helps manage moisture, making them suitable for warm weather. However, for extreme heat and humidity, consider pairing them with breathable tops for optimal comfort.

What is the material of the shorts?

The shorts are made from 100% Polyester, chosen for its quick-drying and stretch properties.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel restrictive despite stretch fabric

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and compare with your measurements. The elasticated waist should provide comfort, but incorrect sizing can lead to restriction.

Fabric is not drying as quickly as expected

Confirm that fabric softener was not used during washing, as it can impede quick-dry performance. Ensure the shorts are not overloaded in the washing machine and are hung in a well-ventilated area for drying.

Elasticated waistband feels too tight or too loose

While the waistband is elasticated for comfort, extreme differences in fit may indicate an incorrect size. If the waistband is too tight, consider a size up. If too loose, a size down may be appropriate, or a simple alteration could be considered.

UV protection seems less effective

The built-in UV protection offers a baseline level. For extended periods in direct, strong sunlight, consider additional sun protection measures like sunscreen or wearing longer clothing over the shorts if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to 4-way stretch fabric.
  • Keeps you dry with effective quick-dry material.
  • Provides sun protection for outdoor comfort.
  • Comfortable elasticated waist for a flexible fit.
  • Versatile for various casual and active pursuits.

Cons

  • Material might be less breathable than natural fibers in extreme heat.
  • Design is primarily casual, potentially limiting formal wearability.
  • Specific care instructions need to be followed to maintain fabric properties.
  • UV protection level may not be sufficient for prolonged, intense sun exposure without additional measures.
  • May not offer the same level of durability as heavy-duty hiking shorts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shorts require no setup. Simply remove them from packaging and wear.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult women. Available in various sizes (e.g., UK 10, UK 12, UK 18) and colours (Beige, Khaki). Pair with t-shirts, active tops, or casual shirts.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the performance of the quick-dry and UV protection features:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.
  2. Use a mild detergent.
  3. Do not bleach.
  4. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
  5. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities.
  6. Do not iron.
