FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the UPF 50+ protection?

UPF 50+ protection blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, significantly reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage.

How do the moisture-wicking and quick-drying features work?

The fabric is designed with special fibers that pull moisture (sweat) away from your skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, keeping you dry and cool.

What kind of activities are these shorts best suited for?

They are ideal for warm-weather outdoor activities, especially water-based pursuits like fishing, kayaking, and boating, as well as hiking and general outdoor recreation.

Can I wear these shorts for casual everyday use?

Yes, their comfort, lightweight nature, and quick-drying properties make them suitable for casual wear, especially in warmer climates.

What sizes are available?

These shorts are available in sizes Small through XXLarge.

What colors are offered?

The shorts are available in Burnished Clay and Shale.

How should I wash these shorts to maintain their performance?

Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel damp after extended wear

Ensure the fabric is not overly saturated. While quick-drying, extreme conditions might take longer. Allow for air drying if possible.

Stretching appears diminished over time

Follow washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade stretch properties. Wash in cold water and tumble dry on low.

Sun protection seems less effective

Verify that the UPF rating has not been compromised by excessive wear or damage to the fabric. Ensure full coverage without significant stretching where the fabric is thinned.
