Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material are the Highton II shorts made from?

They are made from ISOFLEX Active stretch fabric, which is 94% polyamide and 6% elastane, incorporating recycled content.

How effective is the water-repellent finish?

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish effectively repels light rain and water, causing it to bead off the fabric. It is designed for changeable conditions rather than heavy downpours.

What kind of sun protection do these shorts offer?

They provide UPF 50+ sun protection, which blocks a significant amount of harmful UV radiation, protecting your skin during prolonged sun exposure.

Can I wear these shorts in very hot weather?

While the fabric is breathable and quick-drying, the longer length might make them feel warm in extreme heat. They are best suited for mild to cool outdoor conditions.

How should I wash and care for these shorts?

Machine wash at 40°C, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning. Reapply water repellent finish as needed.

Are these shorts suitable for climbing or activities with a high risk of snagging?

The polyamide blend offers durability, but the fabric could be susceptible to snagging on sharp objects. For activities with a high risk of abrasion, consider reinforced or more robust materials.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish can diminish over time. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment after washing and drying, following the product's specific instructions.

Shorts feel restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The part-elasticated waist offers some adjustability, but for maximum freedom of movement, check the sizing guide.

Pockets feel insecure for valuables.

Utilize the zipped leg pocket for items like keys, cards, or a phone. For other items, be mindful of the depth and closure of the standard pockets.
