FAQs
Are these shorts waterproof?
While the G-1000 fabric is highly durable and wind-resistant, it is not waterproof, though it can be treated with Greenland Wax for increased water repellency.
How should I choose my size?
The size listed (e.g., 48) refers to European sizing. Refer to the Fjällräven size chart to convert your local waist measurement to the corresponding European size.
Can I use these for swimming?
No, these are designed for trekking and outdoor work; the heavy-duty fabric is not designed for swimming and will take a long time to dry.
What is the benefit of the reinforced seat?
The double layer of fabric protects the shorts from friction when sitting on rough terrain like granite, wood, or sharp rocks.
Can I store a large smartphone in the internal pocket?
The internal pocket is designed for standard-sized mobile devices; very large or 'Plus/Max' size phones may be a tight fit.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This is common with G-1000 fabrics; air dry them and wear them for a short time to allow the fibers to relax and return to their natural flexibility.
Button closure feels loose
Check the stitching around the button base; if it is coming undone, reinforce the thread to prevent the button from detaching during strenuous activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts do not require assembly, but proper care is essential to ensure they last for years. Wash them in cool water with similar colors and avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the specialized fabric treatment. If you are using these for extended expeditions, ensure your belt is compatible with the wide belt loops to prevent the shorts from sagging under the weight of items stored in the cargo pockets. Keep the fabric clean of excessive mud or grit to prevent abrasion of the weave over time.
