FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and made of polyester, they are designed primarily for hiking and trekking rather than as dedicated swim trunks.
Can I remove the integrated belt?
Yes, the belt is designed to be removable if you prefer to use your own or wear the shorts without one.
Does the material stretch?
The material is designed for durability and movement, utilizing a gusseted construction to provide range of motion rather than high-stretch spandex.
How do I determine the right size?
These shorts follow standard UK men's waist sizing; the partial elastic waist provides a small amount of flexibility for a comfortable fit.
Do these shorts require special washing instructions?
They should be washed in cold water. Avoid bleach and high-heat tumble drying to keep the UPF protection and wicking technology intact.
Troubleshooting
Moisture is not wicking away effectively
Avoid using fabric softener in the wash, as it blocks the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fabric.
Waist fit feels loose
Tighten the integrated removable belt and check that the partial elastic is seated correctly against the hips.
Cargo pocket flap won't stay closed
Check the hook-and-loop closure for debris or lint, which can be removed with a stiff brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your shorts, use the integrated removable belt to find your ideal fit before heading out. Because these shorts are made from 100% polyester, they are machine washable. For best results, wash in cool water with similar colors and avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibers and inhibit the moisture-wicking properties of the Omni-Wick treatment. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the sun-protective finish.
