FAQs

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The duration of the anti-insect treatment's effectiveness can vary but is generally designed to last for a significant number of washes. However, it is recommended to follow the specific care instructions, as improper washing (e.g., using fabric softener) can reduce its longevity.

Are these shorts suitable for very hot and humid weather?

Yes, the shorts are made from lightweight, quick-drying fabric designed for warm weather. While they offer good comfort, extremely high humidity might still lead to perspiration.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric provides excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking more than 98% of UV rays.

Can I wear these for swimming?

While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are primarily designed for hiking and travel. They are not specifically designed as swimwear, and prolonged immersion in chlorinated or saltwater may affect the fabric and treatment over time.

What is the material composition of the shorts?

The shorts are made from Isoflex active stretch fabric, which is 86% polyamide and 14% elastane.

How should I care for the anti-insect treatment?

To maintain the effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment, wash the shorts at a low temperature (30°C) with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Air drying or tumble drying on a low setting is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent treatment seems less effective.

The anti-insect treatment's effectiveness can diminish over time and with washing. Ensure you are following care instructions strictly and avoid fabric softeners. For prolonged trips, consider a topical insect repellent as a supplement.

Shorts feel tight after washing.

Verify the washing and drying temperatures. Tumble drying on high heat can cause shrinkage. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size might be more suitable for your needs.

Pockets feel insufficient for carrying items.

While the shorts offer multiple pockets, including a zipped one for security, consider using a small backpack or waist pack for carrying larger or additional items during extended excursions.
