FAQs

What type of outdoor activities are these shorts best suited for?

The Didriksons Tucana Shorts are ideal for activities in warm weather, such as hiking, walking, traveling, or casual everyday wear when comfort and freedom of movement are desired.

How do I ensure the best fit, especially with the higher back waist?

Refer to the size guide provided by Didriksons. The slightly higher waist at the back is designed for a more secure fit during active movement. Try them on and move around to assess comfort and coverage.

Are the zipped pockets secure enough for valuables?

Yes, the zipped front pockets are designed to keep items like keys, cards, or a small phone secure and prevent them from falling out during activity.

What does 'PFC-free water-repellent finish' mean?

It means the water-repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are often considered environmentally harmful. This finish helps water bead off the fabric surface.

Can I wear these shorts in cooler weather?

While the Sorona fabric is breathable, these shorts are primarily designed for warm or hot conditions. For cooler weather, layering or choosing insulated bottoms would be more appropriate.

How should I clean the shorts to maintain their properties?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, close zippers before washing. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean.

Troubleshooting

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Ensure zippers are clean and free from debris. Gently use a graphite pencil or wax on the teeth to improve glide. Check that fabric is not caught in the zipper.

Water-repellency seems reduced

The PFC-free water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Consider a re-treatment with a suitable PFC-free waterproofing spray designed for outdoor apparel. Follow product instructions carefully.

Shorts feel restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Sorona fabric has stretch, but proper sizing is crucial for optimal freedom of movement. Check the fit around the waist and hips.
