FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and water-repellent, they are designed as casual hiking or travel shorts rather than swim trunks.
What does the 44R size mean?
The 44 refers to the waist size in inches, and the R denotes a Regular length fit.
Do these shorts require ironing?
No, the fabric is crease-resistant and generally does not require ironing if hung up to dry immediately after washing.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The comfort comes from the part-elasticated waist rather than stretch fabric; the woven polyester holds its shape well.
Can I wear a belt with these?
Yes, the shorts include integrated belt loops to support a standard belt if a more secure or tailored fit is desired.
How much sun protection do they offer?
They feature a UPF 50+ rating, which blocks 98% of the sun's UV radiation through the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is no longer working as effectively
The DWR coating can wear off over time. Wash the shorts to remove dirt and residue, then apply a fresh DWR treatment spray.
Zip pocket feels stiff or sticks
Clean the zipper tracks of any grit or dust using a small brush. If it remains stiff, apply a light coat of dry silicone lubricant specifically for garment zippers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts maintain their water-repellent and protective properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying, use a low heat setting to prevent damage to the polyester fibers.
- Maintenance: To keep the durable water repellent (DWR) finish effective, consider reapplying a technical fabric spray periodically after several washes.
- Compatibility: The standard button and zip fly design allows these shorts to pair easily with most casual belts and everyday footwear, from hiking boots to trainers.
