FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for heavy rain?
These shorts have a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and moisture. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof outer layer is recommended.
What material are the shorts made from?
The shorts are made from a blend of 94% Polyamide and 6% Elastane, providing both durability and stretch.
How many pockets do the shorts have?
The shorts feature two standard hand pockets, one concealed zip hand pocket, and one concealed zip back pocket, offering a total of four pockets.
Is a belt included with the shorts?
Yes, a belt is included with the Brasher Stretch Shorts.
What activities are these shorts best suited for?
They are primarily recommended for walking and hiking, where their comfort, stretch, and water resistance are most beneficial.
Can I wear these shorts in cold weather?
These shorts are suitable for mild to moderate conditions. For colder weather, layering with thermal base layers underneath is advised.
How should I care for the DWR finish?
To maintain the DWR finish, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach when washing. After several washes, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment to restore its water-repelling properties.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive during movement.
Ensure the size is correct. The stretch fabric should allow for significant flexibility; if it feels tight, consider trying a larger size. Check that the belt is not overly tightened.
Water resistance seems reduced after washing.
The DWR finish can degrade over time. Follow the care instructions carefully and consider using a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor clothing to restore its performance.
Pockets feel insecure.
Ensure all zip pockets are fully closed. The concealed zip pockets are designed for security; make sure the zip is engaged correctly.
