The North Face Resolve Woven Short - Regular - UK 8

Yes, the seam-sealed DryVent shell provides waterproof protection and is designed for significant rainfall. The DWR finish also helps in shedding water.

Due to their regular fit, they can be worn over a base layer or thin leggings. For wearing over bulkier pants, a size up might be considered, though the primary design is for wear directly on the skin or over light layers.

Regular washing with appropriate detergents and periodic reapplication of a DWR finish will help maintain the water-repellent capabilities of the shorts.

The ankle zips allow for easy on and off, especially over footwear like boots. They also provide ventilation if needed.

They are made from a 70D 106g/m² two-layer DryVent 100% nylon fabric.

Yes, the shorts feature secure-zip hand pockets for safely storing small items like keys or a phone.

Ensure the DWR finish is intact. If it has worn off, consider applying a new DWR treatment. Also, check that all seams are properly sealed and that the main fabric has not been damaged.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oil-based lubricants which can stain the fabric.

Adjust the internal drawcord for a tighter fit. If the waist is consistently too tight even with the drawcord fully extended, consider if this is the correct size or fit for your body type.
