Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shorts water-resistant?

Yes, they feature a moisture-wicking finish, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to dry very quickly if caught in a light shower.

Can I wear these under a climbing harness?

Absolutely. The low-bulk waistband is specifically designed to sit flat under a harness to prevent chafing.

Is the fabric heavy?

No, the EXOLITE 100 material is a lightweight soft shell fabric designed for high-output activities where weight and breathability are priorities.

Do these shorts provide UV protection?

While the dense weave offers some natural protection, it is always recommended to use sunscreen on exposed skin when hiking in high-altitude environments.

How do I choose the correct waist size?

These shorts are sized in standard UK waist measurements. If you are between sizes, use the drawcord adjustment to fine-tune the fit.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagged on rock

While EXOLITE 100 is durable, treat minor snags by gently smoothing the fibers back into place. For larger tears, use a nylon-specific repair patch to prevent the fabric from fraying further.

Waistband feels loose during activity

Tighten the integrated drawcord adjustment to customize the fit. Ensure the cord is tied securely and tucked inside the waistband to prevent it from catching on gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Dynamo Shorts, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps.

Care Instructions:

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a technical gear cleaner or mild detergent.
Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the water-resistant treatment and the breathability of the soft shell fabric.
Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or better yet, line dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric fibers.

Compatibility:

These shorts are fully compatible with most technical climbing harnesses and trekking backpacks. The low-bulk waistband is specifically designed to eliminate points of friction, making them ideal for use in layering systems where a harness or pack belt is worn directly over the waistband.
