Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Torrek Pro Short is designed for active adult males seeking comfortable and durable shorts for outdoor pursuits like hiking, running, and training. Its key benefit is offering a blend of lightweight flexibility, quick-drying properties, and protection against the elements, thanks to its polyester and elastane fabric with a water-repellent finish and UPF 50+ sun shielding. A potential caveat is that while abrasion-resistant, the lightweight nature might be less suited for extremely rough, prolonged bushwhacking compared to heavier-duty materials.

FAQs

What activities are these shorts best suited for?

The Dare 2b Torrek Pro Shorts are ideal for hiking, trail running, training, and general outdoor activities where comfort, flexibility, and protection from the elements are important.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Dare 2b. Measure your waist and compare it to the size chart. The Torrek Pro Short has a part-elasticated waist for some adjustability.

Are these shorts waterproof?

No, the shorts feature a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which means they can repel light rain and moisture but are not fully waterproof. They are designed to dry quickly if they do get wet.

How should I care for the water-repellent finish?

To maintain the DWR finish, wash the shorts according to care instructions and avoid using fabric softeners. For best results, consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray or wash after extended use.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It indicates that the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection.

Can I wear these shorts in very hot weather?

Yes, the lightweight and quick-drying fabric makes them suitable for warm weather. However, for extremely high temperatures, consider breathability alongside weight.

What is the material composition?

The shorts are made from a blend of 95% polyester and 5% elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel restrictive.

Ensure the part-elasticated waist is correctly adjusted for your comfort. Check that the size selected is appropriate for your measurements.

Water repellency is reduced.

The DWR finish can diminish over time. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel after washing according to care instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers.

Fabric feels slightly rough after washing.

This can be normal for some durable fabrics. Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly regarding heat settings for drying and ironing.
