FAQs

How do I care for my Volantis Shorts?

What does '7"' refer to in the product name?

What is the benefit of the non-fluorocarbon DWR treatment?
It provides a reliable water-repellent barrier against light rain and snowmelt while being more environmentally friendly than traditional fluorocarbon treatments.
Troubleshooting
Waistband not secure
Ensure the internal drawcord is properly tightened and tied. If the elastic feels worn, consider professional repair or replacement.
Fabric feels less water-repellent after washing
The DWR treatment can diminish over time. Reapply a suitable Nikwax or Grangers DWR product following the manufacturer's instructions.
Stitching coming loose
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. For more significant stitching issues, contact Montane customer support or a professional tailor.
