FAQs
How effective is the anti-insect treatment?
The treatment is designed to repel common biting insects. Its effectiveness can decrease with frequent washing and wear. Follow care instructions to maximize its lifespan.
What type of insects does the treatment repel?
The treatment is generally effective against biting insects such as mosquitoes and midges.
Can I wear these shorts in the rain?
While they are quick-drying, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. They will dry relatively quickly if they get wet.
What is UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering excellent sun protection.
How do I wash these shorts?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or line dry.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, their lightweight, quick-drying, and breathable properties make them very suitable for hot weather.
What size should I order?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by the retailer for accurate measurements. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive.
Ensure the part-elasticated waist is comfortably positioned. The ISOFLEX stretch fabric should provide ample room for movement; check that no other clothing is restricting you.
Insect treatment seems less effective.
The treatment can diminish over time and with washing. Follow care instructions carefully, especially regarding detergent type and avoiding fabric softeners. Consider reapplying insect repellent if needed, ensuring it's compatible with the fabric.
Shorts take a long time to dry.
Ensure the shorts are not overloaded in the washing machine. Use the drying loop and hang them in a well-ventilated area. For faster drying, tumble dry on a low heat setting.
