FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
Yes, the quick-dry material makes them appropriate for water activities, though they are designed primarily for on-water performance rather than as dedicated swimwear.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric allows only 1/50th of the sun's UV radiation to reach the skin, providing excellent protection against sun damage.
How should I choose the right size?
The shorts are sized using standard generic apparel sizing. We recommend checking the size guide or your usual pant measurement to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can these be tumble dried?
While machine drying is possible on a low heat setting, air drying is highly recommended to extend the lifespan of the performance fabric and maintain the moisture-wicking capabilities.
Are these shorts only for fishing?
While designed for fishing, their high-performance, breathable, and sun-protective nature makes them an excellent choice for hiking, camping, or any outdoor activity where sun exposure is a factor.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long periods
Ensure you are not layering heavy or non-wicking garments underneath the shorts.
Stains from fish handling or mud
Spot treat the affected area with a mild stain remover before machine washing; avoid harsh bleaching agents.
