FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are water-repellent, they are designed primarily for hiking and trekking rather than swimming or submersion in water.
How do I ensure I order the right size?
The shorts are sized by UK waist measurement. Use a measuring tape to find your exact waist size in inches to match the variant available.
Is the fabric heavy?
No, the Hike-Air Stretch Short is designed for active use and features a lightweight, flexible material optimized for breathability.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softener can clog the pores of the technical fabric and diminish the effectiveness of the water-repellent coating.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free refers to a water-repellent coating that avoids the use of perfluorinated chemicals, which are often considered harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Water repellent coating seems less effective
Wash the garment to remove dirt and oils, then re-activate the DWR by tumble drying on low heat or using a tech-fabric re-proofer.
Belt slips during activity
Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the buckle and pulled taut. If it persists, confirm the waist size is correct for your build.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Hike-Air Stretch Shorts, start by adjusting the integrated 25mm belt to your preferred tension before your first outing. When cleaning, machine wash in cool water and avoid heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR water-repellent coating. To maintain the water-repellency, tumble dry on a low setting or air dry; if you notice water no longer beads on the surface after extended use, apply a standard technical DWR refreshing spray. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the fabric.
