FAQs
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, they have a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which helps repel light showers, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I adjust the waist size?
Yes, these shorts come with an integrated belted waistband that allows for fine-tuning the fit.
How many pockets do the shorts have?
The shorts feature two hip pockets, both secured with bonded, water-resistant zips.
Are these suitable for hiking?
Yes, the stretch fabric and ripstop durability make them excellent for hiking and technical outdoor pursuits.
How should I wash them?
Use a gentle wash cycle with cool water to preserve the DWR finish and the integrity of the stretch fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water-resistant zip is sticking
Clear any debris or grit from the zip teeth using a soft brush, and ensure the fabric is not caught in the track.
DWR finish not repelling water
Wash the garment to remove surface dirt and reactivate the DWR with low heat in a dryer, or apply a professional DWR treatment spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the shorts, simply adjust the integrated belt buckle to your desired waist size. The shorts use a standard zip and fly closure system. For maintenance, it is recommended to wash the garment in cool water and avoid harsh detergents that might strip the DWR coating. To maintain the water-repellent performance, avoid tumble drying at high heat and consider using a re-waterproofing spray if water beads no longer form on the fabric surface after a wash cycle.
