What is the primary material?
They are constructed from a high-quality, recycled nylon plain weave featuring 4-way stretch.
Do they provide protection from the wind?

What does the 50:50 waist belt mean?

Troubleshooting
Water beading has stopped after washing
The DWR finish may need reactivation. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or iron on a low temperature to help refresh the water-repellent coating.
Waistband feels loose during activity
Utilize the 50:50 waist belt system to tighten the fit. If the fit remains loose, you may be between sizes and should consider a base layer tucked in to provide extra tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Montane Caelum Shorts maintain their performance integrity, proper care is essential. Always machine wash in cool water using a mild detergent, preferably one designed for technical outdoor apparel. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties and the DWR finish. Drip dry in the shade to protect the integrity of the nylon fibers. Because of their lightweight design, they pair exceptionally well with high-wicking technical baselayers for longer trekking expeditions. For best results, ensure you select your correct UK dress size to fully benefit from the pre-articulated tailoring.
