FAQs

What is the main benefit of the UPF 50+ protection?

UPF 50+ protection significantly blocks harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, helping to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage during extended outdoor exposure.

Are these shorts suitable for cold weather?

No, these shorts are designed for warm weather and focus on breathability, moisture-wicking, and sun protection. They do not provide insulation for cold conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Simms. These shorts are available in sizes Small to XXLarge. It's recommended to measure your waist and compare it to the chart. They offer a relaxed fit with added stretch.

Can I wear these for activities other than fishing?

Yes, absolutely. Their quick-drying, stretch, and sun-protective features make them suitable for a variety of outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, camping, and general warm-weather wear.

How do I maintain the quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties?

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its performance. Wash with mild detergent and dry on a low setting or air dry.

What are the available colors?

The Simms Superlight UV Protective Shorts are available in Burnished Clay and Shale.

What does 'added stretch' mean for these shorts?

The fabric incorporates elastane or a similar material, allowing the shorts to stretch in multiple directions. This provides greater freedom of movement and a more comfortable fit during active pursuits.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too loose

Adjust the drawstring waistband for a secure fit. If still too loose, consider sizing down or using a belt.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and tumble drying on low or air drying. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impact moisture-wicking properties.

Sun protection seems reduced

Verify the UPF rating of the fabric. While durable, excessive wear or damage could potentially compromise the protection. Ensure the garment is fully intact.
