Product Information

Full details

The Montane Volantis 7" Shorts are designed for active adults, specifically men, seeking lightweight and highly breathable apparel for running, hiking, and scrambling. Their key benefit is the freedom of movement and performance enhancement due to a streamlined, 135g design. A minor caveat is their specific suitability for warmer conditions due to their lightweight nature. These shorts feature a double-weave, 4-way stretch fabric for comfort and durability, a low-profile waistband for a secure fit, and YKK zipped hand pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

What activities are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are ideal for running, hiking, scrambling, and other high-energy outdoor activities, especially in warmer weather.

What is the inseam length?

The inseam length is approximately 7 inches.

Are these shorts waterproof?

No, these are softshell shorts made for breathability and movement, not for waterproofing. They offer some resistance to light showers but are not designed for heavy rain.

What material are the shorts made from?

They are made from a double-weave fabric consisting of 87% Nylon and 13% Elastane.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

While they are breathable, their lightweight nature means they offer minimal insulation. They are best suited for mild to warm conditions or as a layer over thermal base layers in cooler weather.

How do I care for the shorts to maintain their performance?

Machine wash cool with a mild liquid detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.

Do the shorts have pockets?

Yes, they feature YKK zipped hand pockets for secure storage of small items.

Troubleshooting

Waistband feels too loose

Ensure the waistband drawcord (if applicable, not explicitly mentioned but common) is tightened properly. If it's still loose, consider wearing a belt or a base layer that provides a snugger fit.

Pockets feel insecure for items

Ensure the YKK zippers are fully closed and zipped up. For very small items like a single key, consider a small pouch or securing them tightly within the zipped pocket.

Fabric feels restrictive after washing

Double-check that fabric softener was not used during the wash cycle. Re-wash with a mild detergent only and rinse thoroughly. Air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
