Full details

FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for activities such as hiking, climbing, scrambling, trail running, and general outdoor use where mobility, durability, and comfort are important.
How do I clean the Montane Caelum Shorts?
Machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What does 'non-fluorocarbon water repellent' mean?
This means the water-repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals), making it more environmentally friendly. It provides protection against light rain and splashes.
How durable is the VECTOR Stretch fabric?
The VECTOR Stretch fabric is a recycled nylon plain weave known for its excellent abrasion resistance, making it suitable for rugged outdoor use.
Can I reactivate the water repellency?
Yes, you can reactivate the DWR by using a technical fabric re-proofer after washing. A cool iron setting can also help reactivate the existing treatment.
What is the benefit of the 'pre-articulated' design?
The pre-articulated knees and pre-active stance design mean the shorts are shaped to follow the natural movement of your legs, providing enhanced freedom of movement and comfort during dynamic activities.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive despite correct size
Ensure the hybrid waist belt is adjusted evenly and comfortably. Check if the pre-articulation and gusset are sitting correctly against your body during movement.
Water repellency is reduced after several washes
Clean the shorts thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue. Apply a technical fabric re-proofer according to the product instructions to restore water repellency. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Fabric appears to be pilling or showing excessive wear
While the shorts are abrasion-resistant, avoid unnecessary friction with rough surfaces. Ensure proper washing and drying techniques are followed, and consider if the shorts are being used for activities exceeding their intended durability.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Montane Caelum Shorts:
- Washing: Machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild, environmentally friendly liquid detergent.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric and DWR treatment.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods.
