Troubleshooting

Shorts feel damp after extended wear

Ensure the shorts are fully dry before packing or storing. Allow for air circulation to aid drying.

Waistband feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the drawcord for a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on waist measurement.

Water seems to soak into the fabric

The water-repellent finish may diminish over time with extensive use and washing. Consider a fabric re-proofer spray designed for activewear if performance decreases significantly.
