Are these shorts waterproof?

How many pockets do the shorts have, and are they secure?

Yes, the shorts have multiple secure pockets: two zippered hand pockets, one zippered thigh pocket, and one hidden zippered rear pocket.

What type of fabric are these shorts made from?

They are made from a durable yet lightweight Matrix™ stretch double weave polyamide fabric.

Can I wear a belt with these shorts?

Yes, the shorts come with low-profile belt loops, allowing you to wear a belt for a more customized fit.

What is the recommended best use for these shorts?

These shorts are best suited for activities such as climbing, mountaineering, hill walking, and trekking, particularly in summer conditions.

How should I care for my shorts to maintain their performance?

Follow the care instructions: machine wash cold with mild detergent, tumble dry low, and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Wash with similar colors.

Troubleshooting

Zipper sticking

Gently pull the zipper while wiggling it. If still stuck, use a graphite pencil to rub the teeth, or a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the DWR treatment. Tumble dry on low heat as per care instructions.

Waistband feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the fit using a belt with the provided loops. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if a different size might be more suitable.
