Product Information

Full details

The Women's Brasher Stretch Shorts are designed for adult females seeking comfortable and practical apparel for walking and hiking. Their key benefit is the combination of stretch fit and water resistance, allowing for freedom of movement and protection against light moisture. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. These shorts offer a durable, action-ready solution with multiple pockets and an included belt.

FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for heavy rain?

No, the shorts have a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish which is effective against light rain and moisture. For heavy or prolonged rain, waterproof overtrousers are recommended.

What activities are these shorts best suited for?

They are recommended for walking and hiking, providing comfort and freedom of movement. They are also suitable for general outdoor activities and casual wear.

How do I care for the water-repellent finish?

The DWR finish naturally degrades over time with washing and wear. You can restore water repellency by using a specific DWR treatment spray or wash-in product after cleaning the shorts.

What is the material composition?

The shorts are made from 94% Polyamide and 6% Elastane, offering a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

While suitable for active use in cooler weather, you may wish to wear a base layer underneath for added warmth during colder conditions.

How many pockets do the shorts have?

The shorts feature two hand pockets, one concealed zip hand pocket, and one concealed zip back pocket, totaling four pockets.

Troubleshooting

Belt adjustment is difficult

Ensure the belt buckle is clean and free from debris. If the belt material is stiff, try flexing it gently.

Water repellency seems reduced

The DWR finish can wear off over time. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment after washing, following product instructions.

Pockets feel too small for specific items

The concealed zip pockets are designed for smaller essentials like keys, cards, or a slim phone. For larger items, consider a backpack.
