FAQs
Can these shorts be used for water sports?
While they are breathable, they are designed for hiking and trekking. They may take longer to dry than dedicated board shorts.
Do I need to wax these shorts?
Waxing is optional. It increases wind and water resistance, but reducing wax will improve airflow in extreme heat.
Are these true to size?
They feature a regular fit; however, it is recommended to check the specific waist measurements provided in the size guide.
Can I carry a large smartphone in the internal pocket?
The internal pocket is designed to hold standard-sized smartphones securely. Very large phones may have a tight fit.
What is G-1000 Air Stretch?
It is a lighter, more ventilated version of the classic G-1000 fabric, incorporating mechanical stretch for better mobility.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you have not used fabric softener, which can leave a residue on the G-1000 fibers.
Pocket buttons feel loose
Check for loose threads around the button stitching and reinforce with standard needle and thread if necessary.
Stains not coming out
Spot clean the area with a soft brush and mild soap before the next machine wash; do not use harsh bleach.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts remain in peak condition, machine wash them in warm water using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can impair the breathability and the natural properties of the G-1000 fabric. These shorts are compatible with standard hiking belts and pair well with both technical base layers and standard t-shirts. For long-term maintenance, consider re-waxing the garment with Fjällräven Greenland Wax if you need to increase the water-repellent properties of specific areas. Always air dry the shorts away from direct, harsh heat sources to prevent material degradation.
