FAQs

What is the EXOLITE 210 fabric?

EXOLITE 210 is a midweight softshell fabric. It is wind and water-resistant and offers excellent stretch and durability, ideal for outdoor activities.

Are the shorts waterproof?

The shorts are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. The DWR treatment helps to repel water, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may allow some water penetration.

How should I clean the shorts?

Machine wash in cold water (30°C/86°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.

Do the shorts have any warranty?

Mountain Equipment offers a Product Lifetime Guarantee, covering manufacturing defects and material failures.

What is the Alpine Fit?

The Alpine Fit is a tailored design that allows for complete freedom of movement with no excess fabric.

How many pockets do the shorts have?

The shorts have four zipped pockets: two hand pockets, two thigh pockets, and one rear pocket.

Are the shorts suitable for climbing?

Yes, the shorts are suitable for climbing due to the durable fabric, the alpine fit, and the gusseted crotch, which allows for a full range of motion.

What is the inseam length?

The inseam length is 27.5cm / 11in.

Troubleshooting

Zipper issues on pockets.

Check for any obstructions in the zipper tracks. Lubricate the zippers with a wax-based lubricant if they are stiff. Contact Mountain Equipment support if issues persist.

Belt adjustment difficulties.

Ensure the belt buckle is properly aligned. Adjust the belt length to fit, and ensure it's not over-tightened.

Fabric wear or abrasion.

Repair any small tears or abrasions immediately using appropriate fabric repair tape or patches to prevent further damage. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
