FAQs
Are these shorts machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. Please follow the care label instructions and use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
Can I remove the integrated belt?
The belt is designed as an integrated component for the best fit; removing it may affect the performance and intended utility of the shorts.
Do these shorts run true to size?
The shorts are sized by UK waist measurement. It is recommended to consult a size guide or measure your natural waist to ensure an accurate fit.
Is the mesh thigh pocket secure?
The mesh thigh pocket is designed for quick access to non-valuable items like a snack wrapper or trail map, while the zipped hand pockets should be used for valuables.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free means the water-repellent coating is made without perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in standard DWR treatments but are less environmentally friendly.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellency is wearing off
The DWR finish can be refreshed by washing the garment and applying a specialized DWR-restoring spray or wash-in treatment.
Belt buckle slips or feels loose
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the buckle mechanism and check for any debris in the teeth of the clasp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Hike-Air Stretch Shorts, proper care is essential. Since the fabric uses a DWR coating, wash the shorts on a cool cycle using a technical detergent designed for outdoor gear; avoid standard fabric softeners as these can strip the water-repellent finish. For the best fit, adjust the integrated belt before starting your hike to ensure it remains comfortable throughout the day. These shorts are designed to be compatible with most technical hiking base layers and moisture-wicking underwear.
