FAQs

What type of activities are the Tucana Shorts best suited for?

They are ideal for warm-weather outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, trail running, and general day-to-day use where comfort and freedom of movement are desired.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Didriksons sizing chart. The shorts have a slightly higher waist at the back for a better fit, so consider both waist and hip measurements.

Are these shorts waterproof?

No, they have a water-repellent finish, which means they can resist light rain or splashes for a limited time, but they are not waterproof and will soak through in heavy rain.

Can I attach accessories to the shorts?

Yes, the shorts feature D-rings, which are useful for attaching small accessories like keys or a multi-tool.

Is the Sorona fabric environmentally friendly?

Sorona is a partially plant-based material that requires less energy and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions during its manufacturing process compared to conventional petroleum-based materials.

How should I care for the water-repellent finish?

Follow the care instructions precisely, avoiding fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Re-treating the fabric may be necessary over time if the water repellency diminishes significantly.

What is the benefit of the higher back waistband?

The slightly higher back waistband is designed to provide a more secure and comfortable fit, ensuring the shorts stay in place during active movement.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Sorona fabric is designed to stretch, but a size too small can still feel restrictive.

Chafing occurs during activity.

While designed to prevent chafing, ensure seams lie flat against the skin. Adjusting the fit with a belt might also help if the waistband is too loose.

Water repellency is reduced.

Washing and drying according to care instructions can help maintain the water-repellent properties. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the finish.

Zippers are stiff.

Gently work the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) can help lubricate it.
