Product Information
Full details
The North Face Resolve Woven Short is designed for active adult females seeking reliable rain protection for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is its waterproof and breathable DryVent™ shell, keeping you dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is that the sizing runs specific to UK dress sizes, so checking measurements is advised. This short features a seam-sealed shell, mesh lining for breathability, an elastic waist with a drawcord, secure-zip pockets, and adjustable ankle tabs for a customized fit.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense physical activity?
Yes, the breathable DryVent™ fabric and mesh lining are designed to keep you comfortable during moderate to high-intensity activities in wet conditions.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to The North Face's official sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for waist, hip, and inseam corresponding to UK dress sizes. It is recommended to measure yourself accurately.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
These shorts are primarily for rain protection. They can be layered over thermal base layers for added warmth in colder, wet conditions.
What is the DWR finish?
DWR stands for Durable Water-Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to maintain the garment's waterproofness and breathability.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
The need for reapplication depends on usage and washing. If water no longer beads up effectively on the fabric, it's time to consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Can the ankle zips be fully opened?
The ankle zips are designed to be ankle-length, allowing for easier dressing and ventilation. They do not typically open the entire length of the leg.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems reduced.
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. Consider using a DWR spray treatment designed for waterproof outerwear after cleaning, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth or a specific zipper lubricant.
Shorts feel less breathable.
Ensure the inner mesh lining is clean and free of debris, which can obstruct airflow. Wash according to care instructions.
