Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are ideal for high-energy activities such as running, hiking, trail running, and gym training due to their lightweight, flexible, and water-repellent design.

How do I know which size to order?

Please refer to the sizing guide provided by the retailer. The product information indicates it is available in UK dress sizes, so compare your measurements to the chart.

Can I wear these shorts in heavy rain?

The shorts feature a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a more waterproof garment would be recommended.

What are the washing instructions?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

Is the back pocket large enough for a smartphone?

The pocket is described as discreet and suitable for essentials like keys. It is unlikely to be large enough for most modern smartphones. Please check specific dimensions if available.

Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?

While lightweight, they are made of 100% polyester. They offer good flexibility and are suitable for active use in warm weather, but breathability may vary compared to natural fibers.

What does PFAS Compliant mean?

PFAS Compliant means the product adheres to regulations regarding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are often used in water-repellent treatments. This indicates a commitment to using safer chemical alternatives.

Troubleshooting

Elasticated waistband feels too tight/loose

The elasticated waistband is designed for a snug fit. If it feels uncomfortable, ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor adjustments, consider if the shorts have stretched slightly with wear.

Water repellency is reduced

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time with washing. Follow the care instructions to wash correctly, and consider reapplying a suitable water-repellent spray or treatment after washing to restore performance.

Zipper on the back pocket is stiff

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oily substances that could stain the fabric.

Shorts feel restrictive during intense activity

Ensure the size is correct and that the shorts are not too tight. The 100% polyester fabric is designed for flexibility, so restriction may indicate an incorrect fit or a need for a larger size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shorts require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women engaged in athletic activities. Available in various UK dress sizes.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry for best results.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron directly on the printed areas or the water-repellent finish.
  4. Bleaching: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric and compromise the water-repellent properties.
  5. Maintaining Water Repellency: Reapply a water-repellent finish (available from outdoor retailers) after several washes to maintain optimal performance.
