FAQs
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, they are made from a lightweight, quick-drying fabric intended for dry conditions and high-exertion activities.
Can I wear these under a climbing harness?
Yes, the Alpine fit and integrated belt are specifically designed to remain flat and comfortable under a climbing harness.
How do I determine my size?
The shorts are sized by waist measurement in inches. Measure your natural waistline to ensure the correct fit.
Do the pockets have zippers?
There are three open front pockets for quick access, and a single zipped rear pocket for secure storage of small valuables.
What is the primary material used?
The shorts are constructed from a lightweight, technical synthetic fabric designed for durability and rapid moisture management.
Troubleshooting
Belt mechanism feels loose over time
Check the belt buckle teeth for debris or grit and wipe clean with a damp cloth to ensure a secure grip.
Fabric appears to be holding moisture
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washes and verify that the shorts are hung in a well-ventilated area to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Approach Shorts, fasten the integrated belt and all zippers before machine washing. Use a mild detergent and a gentle cycle with cool water to preserve the integrity of the synthetic, quick-drying fabric. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the moisture-wicking properties of the material. Hang dry whenever possible, as high-heat tumble drying can damage the specialized synthetic fibers. The shorts are designed to be compatible with standard climbing harnesses and technical hiking packs.
