FAQs
What type of fabric are these shorts made from?
The shorts are made from a durable yet lightweight Matrix™ double weave fabric, known for its stretch, breathability, and quick-drying properties.
Are these shorts suitable for cold weather?
These shorts are designed for warmer conditions and mountain activities. They are not insulated and therefore best suited for mild to hot weather. For colder conditions, layering or warmer apparel would be recommended.
How many pockets do the shorts have, and are they secure?
Yes, the shorts feature multiple zippered pockets, including two hand pockets, one thigh pocket, and one rear pocket, providing secure storage for your essential items.
Can I adjust the fit of the waistband?
The shorts have a part-elasticated waistband for flexibility. Additionally, low profile belt loops are included, allowing you to use a belt for a more personalized fit.
How should I care for my Torque Mountain Shorts?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Iron on a low setting if needed.
What kind of activities are these shorts best for?
They are ideal for all-mountain activities such as scrambling, hut-to-hut trekking, hiking, and climbing in warmer conditions where mobility and breathability are key.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose
Utilize the low profile belt loops to add a belt for a more secure and customized fit.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fabric feels less breathable after washing
Ensure you have avoided using fabric softeners. Rerun a rinse cycle if softener was accidentally used. Wash with a technical fabric cleaner if the issue persists.
