FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, they are designed primarily for trekking and travel rather than as dedicated swimwear.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These shorts come with an adjustable drawcord waist, making it easier to find a comfortable fit within your standard UK dress size.
Does the UPF protection wear off?
With proper care, such as avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme heat, the protective properties will remain effective for a long period.
Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?
The zipped pockets are designed for essentials, though capacity may vary depending on the specific model and phone size.
Can I iron these shorts?
It is generally recommended to avoid ironing high-performance synthetic travel fabrics; hanging them up after washing is usually sufficient to remove wrinkles.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord feels loose after washing
Ensure the cord is fully tightened and knotted if necessary before putting on the shorts.
Fabric feels slightly stiff
Avoid over-drying in the sun; a gentle wash with minimal detergent can help restore the fabric's soft texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your shorts is straightforward; simply adjust the drawcord at the waist to your desired tightness before heading out. Because these shorts are made from synthetic quick-drying materials, they are best washed on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the fabric's performance and moisture-wicking capabilities. To maintain the integrity of the UPF 50+ coating, air drying is recommended over high-heat machine drying. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature recommendations during washing.
