FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the quick-drying material is suitable for getting wet, they are designed primarily as walking and hiking shorts rather than swimwear.
Can I replace the integrated belt with my own?
Yes, the belt is removable, allowing you to use your own standard belt if desired.
What does the partial elastic waist mean?
It means the waistband contains segments of elastic to allow for a comfortable, flexible fit that moves with you while maintaining a structured look.
Is the material waterproof?
The material is moisture-wicking, meaning it manages sweat well, but it is not classified as waterproof.
How should I measure my size?
Measure around your natural waistline where your trousers typically sit and compare this to the size guide provided for the 28-inch model variants.
Troubleshooting
Belt buckle slipping during movement
Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the teeth of the buckle and pulled taut; if the issue persists, ensure the belt is not twisted inside the loops.
Fabric snagging on rough surfaces
While durable, the lightweight material can snag on sharp brush. If a pull occurs, carefully trim the excess thread with fabric scissors rather than pulling it, which can cause a run.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, utilize the integrated removable belt to cinch the partial elastic waist comfortably. Because the shorts use high-performance synthetic materials, they are designed to be low-maintenance. To maintain the integrity of the moisture-wicking and sun-protection properties, machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the synthetic fibers and interfere with the wicking performance. Always air dry when possible, or use a low heat setting in the dryer to prevent damage to the recycled polyester material.
