Product Information
Full details
The Montane Caelum Shorts are designed for women engaging in fast-paced, warm-weather adventures in hills and mountains. They offer lightweight durability and exceptional comfort for long periods of activity, thanks to their 4-way stretch fabric and articulated design. A potential drawback is their suitability primarily for warmer conditions, which might limit their use in colder climates. Key features include unrestricted movement, a harness-compatible waistband, integrated belt, and practical pocket placement.

FAQs
What type of weather are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for warm to mild weather conditions. Their lightweight and breathable design makes them comfortable for hiking, trekking, and climbing during spring, summer, and early autumn.
Can I wear a climbing harness with these shorts?
Yes, the waistband is specifically designed to be low-profile and compatible with climbing harnesses, ensuring comfort and accessibility without interference.
How do I clean the Montane Caelum Shorts?
Machine wash at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying. Iron on a low setting if necessary. Always wash with similar colours.
What is the water repellency like?
The shorts feature a non-fluorocarbon water repellent finish, which helps shed light rain and splashes. They are not waterproof and are best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions.
How many pockets do the shorts have, and where are they located?
There are three pockets: two open hand pockets located on the sides, and one vertical zippered thigh pocket positioned on the side for ease of movement.
What material are the shorts made from?
The shorts are made from 85% recycled nylon and 15% elastane, providing 4-way stretch and durability.
What does 'pre-articulation' mean in the context of these shorts?
Pre-articulation refers to the shaping of the fabric around the knees and hips to mimic the body's natural stance during activity, enhancing comfort and freedom of movement.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the 50:50 waist belt. For a tighter fit, pull the webbing through the buckle. For a looser fit, release webbing. Ensure the rear half of the belt is snug but comfortable.
Pockets feel restrictive during movement.
Ensure items are not overstuffed in the pockets, particularly the thigh pocket. The vertical design is optimized for movement, but excessive bulk can still cause discomfort.
Fabric feels damp after light rain.
The shorts have a non-fluorocarbon water repellent finish, which is effective against light moisture but not heavy rain. For prolonged wet conditions, consider waterproof outerwear. Allow shorts to air dry completely.
