FAQs

Are these shorts machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable. We recommend using cold water and a gentle cycle to maintain the fabric's performance features.

Can I remove the integrated belt?

Yes, the belt is removable, allowing you to use it with other trousers or replace it if needed.

What does the UPF 50 protection do?

Omni-Shade UPF 50 technology blocks harmful UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent sunburn and skin damage during prolonged sun exposure.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The hand pockets are standard size, but the zip-closed security pockets are designed to keep smaller items like phones or wallets safe and secure while on the move.

Is the material stretchy?

Yes, the shorts feature 2-way comfort stretch, which provides flexibility for a full range of motion while hiking or walking.

What is the inseam length?

These shorts feature a 10-inch inseam, providing a standard, functional length suitable for most outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Belt buckle slips during use

Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the buckle teeth; if it continues to slip, check for debris caught in the buckle mechanism.

Fabric snagged on trail brush

Gently pull the surrounding fabric to help the snag settle; avoid cutting loose threads as this can cause the seam or weave to unravel.

Moisture management feels reduced

Wash the garment without fabric softener to strip away any residue that may be blocking the wicking properties of the polyester fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your shorts, always adjust the integrated belt before starting your activity to prevent chafing or slippage. These shorts are designed for a regular fit; if you are between sizes, the adjustable waist allows for minor tightening. For care, wash the shorts in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the Omni-Shade technology and the fabric's moisture-wicking properties. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the sweat-wicking performance. Air drying is recommended to further extend the life of the material.
