FAQs

What activities are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are ideal for a range of athletic activities including running, gym workouts, yoga, hiking, and other fitness-related exercises where comfort and freedom of movement are important.

How do I determine my size?

Please refer to The North Face's official size guide for women's apparel. Measure your waist and hips and compare them to the provided chart to find the best fit.

Can I wear these for casual everyday use?

While comfortable, the design and technical fabric are optimized for athletic performance. They can be worn casually, but their primary function is for sports and workouts.

How do I wash and care for the shorts?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Use mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

Does the side pocket securely hold a phone?

The side pocket is designed to hold essentials like a phone. However, the security can depend on the size of the phone and the intensity of the activity. For very vigorous activities, consider additional security measures if needed.

What does 'FlashDry' technology do?

FlashDry technology is designed to wick moisture (sweat) away from your skin to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, helping you stay dry and comfortable.

What is the fit of these shorts?

The Cambrena Shorts feature a high-rise, bodycon fit, meaning they are designed to be close-fitting and hug the body's natural shape for a supportive feel.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by referring to the size chart. If the fit is still not comfortable, consider if the bodycon style is suitable for your preference. The material has stretch, but the cut is designed to be form-fitting.

Moisture-wicking is not effective.

Verify that fabric softeners were not used during washing, as they can impede FlashDry technology. Ensure the garment is clean and free of residue. Wash in cool to warm water as per care instructions.

Waistband feels loose.

Check that the waistband is correctly positioned. While elasticated, it is designed for a snug fit. If it consistently feels too loose for your activity level, it might indicate an incorrect size or a manufacturing defect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shorts require no setup. They are designed for direct use. Compatibility is with various athletic activities. Care instructions are crucial for maintaining the fabric's performance:

  • Washing: Machine washable. Always refer to the care label on the product for specific temperature guidelines.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve fabric integrity and elasticity.
  • Ironing: Avoid ironing directly on any printed logos or branding. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting.
