Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the integrated belt. If the belt is removed, consider using your own or ensuring you have selected the correct waist size. The partial elastic waistband offers some flexibility.
Zipper on security pocket is difficult to move
Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a dry lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Fabric not drying as quickly as expected
Ensure the shorts are not overloaded in the washing machine. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking properties. Ensure adequate airflow during drying.

Clean the hook and loop fasteners by brushing away any lint or debris. Ensure the closure is properly aligned before fastening.
