What is the fit of these shorts?
They feature a regular fit, offering a comfortable, loose cut that is not too tight.
Can I put these in the dryer?

How do I ensure I get the right size?
Please refer to the waist size provided in the product name (e.g., 32). The regular fit is standard, so your usual size should be accurate.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn stains on the fabric
Pre-treat the affected area with a gentle stain remover and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before laundering on a normal cycle.
Fabric feels damp after long hikes
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable underlayers and check that the shorts are not being overloaded with heavy items that impede airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are a standard apparel item, there is no technical setup required. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the performance features, follow these care guidelines: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and interfere with the moisture-wicking capabilities. Tumble dry on a low setting and remove promptly to avoid wrinkles. Do not iron directly on the fabric; if necessary, use a cool iron setting.
