Product Information

Full details

Designed for adult anglers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Simms Superlight UV Protective Shorts offer superior comfort and protection on the water. Their key benefit lies in their quick-drying, moisture-wicking fabric with UPF 50+ sun protection, keeping you comfortable and safe during long days outdoors. A potential caveat to consider is that while they offer excellent sun protection, they are a lighter-weight short, so extreme weather conditions might require additional layers. These shorts are crafted for performance, featuring added stretch for freedom of movement, and are available in multiple sizes and colors.

FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the material is quick-drying and offers UPF protection, these shorts are primarily designed for fishing and outdoor activities rather than dedicated swimming. They lack features like a built-in liner for swimming.

What is the difference between Burnished Clay and Shale colors?

Burnished Clay is a reddish-brown hue, while Shale is a neutral, grayish-brown. Both are designed to blend well with natural outdoor environments.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart available on the product page or manufacturer's website. Measure your waist and inseam to ensure a proper fit, keeping in mind the added stretch.

Can I wear these in cooler weather?

These shorts are lightweight and best suited for warm to moderate temperatures. For cooler conditions, they can be worn as a base layer, but additional insulation will likely be necessary.

What is the warranty on these shorts?

Simms typically offers a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the official Simms warranty policy for specific details and duration.

How many pockets do these shorts have?

These shorts feature standard pocket configurations, typically including hand pockets. For specific pocket counts, please consult the product's detailed specifications or imagery.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel damp after washing

Ensure the tumble dryer setting is low and remove promptly. If air drying, ensure adequate ventilation. Residual moisture can be due to detergent buildup; try a second rinse cycle without detergent.

Fabric seems less stretchy over time

Avoid using fabric softeners or high heat in the dryer, as these can degrade the elasticity of the fabric over time. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions.

Color fading

Wash in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Washing inside out can also help preserve color.
