FAQs
Are these shorts waterproof?
They are water-repellent, meaning they shed light moisture and mist, but they are not fully waterproof against heavy rain.
Do these shorts run true to size?
The Brona shorts are designed with a technical fit; if you prefer a looser feel for movement, consider your typical size or check the waist adjustability.
Can I use these for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, they are designed as hiking/outdoor shorts and are not explicitly intended for use as swimwear.
How do I re-activate the water-repellent finish?
Sometimes a simple wash and light tumble dry can help reset the DWR coating; if that fails, apply a specialized aftermarket treatment.
Are the materials durable against rock scraping?
Yes, the double-weave softshell fabric is engineered for abrasion resistance against rocks and trail vegetation.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface.
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the shorts and apply a technical garment water-repellent spray.
Waistband feels loose during activity.
Utilize the built-in adjustment system or add a low-profile webbing belt through the included belt loops for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen Brona Softshell Shorts, machine wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a technical gear cleaner or a mild detergent that does not contain fabric softeners, as softeners can degrade the DWR coating. For drying, tumble dry on a low setting or hang-dry to preserve the elastic fibers. To maintain the water-repellent properties over time, you can apply a specialized DWR re-waterproofing spray if you notice water no longer beads off the surface. Always check the internal garment tag for specific care instructions related to your specific colorway.
