FAQs

What does UPF 50 mean?

UPF 50 refers to the Ultraviolet Protection Factor, meaning the fabric allows only 1/50th of the sun's UV radiation to pass through to your skin.

Can I remove the integrated belt?

Yes, the belt is designed to be fully removable if you prefer to use your own or wear the shorts without one.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While they are made of quick-drying polyester, they are designed primarily as walking and hiking shorts rather than dedicated swimwear.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash in cold water with similar colors and tumble dry on low heat. Always refer to the specific label on your garment.

What is the fit like?

These shorts feature a 'Regular' fit, providing a standard, comfortable profile that is neither too tight nor excessively baggy.

Troubleshooting

Belt slippage

Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the buckle teeth; if it continues to slip, adjust the tension by re-threading the belt.

Fabric snagging

Polyester can snag on sharp thorns or rocks. If a pull occurs, use small sewing scissors to trim the loop flush with the fabric; do not pull the thread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance moisture management
  • Excellent UV protection rating
  • Abundant pocket storage for gear
  • Comfortable partially elasticated waist
  • Lightweight and quick-drying fabric

Cons

  • Regular fit may be loose for some body types
  • Polyester material lacks the stretch of elastane blends
  • Hand/Machine wash requirements vary

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the right fit is straightforward with the removable integrated belt and partially elasticated waistband, which helps adjust the fit to your specific waist measurement. To maintain the integrity of the UPF protection and the wicking technology, it is recommended to follow the care label instructions. Generally, these shorts are machine washable in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy bleach or fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the performance of the synthetic fabric. Air drying is the best method to preserve the material's shape and technical properties over time.
