FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very hot and humid weather?
Yes, the 37.5® technology is specifically designed to enhance cooling and moisture management, making them highly suitable for hot and humid conditions.
How durable are the reinforced pockets?
The pockets, including the ruler pocket and leg endings, are reinforced to withstand the wear and tear associated with carrying tools and frequent use.
Can I wear these shorts in cooler weather?
While they are optimized for warm conditions, they can be worn in cooler weather layered with appropriate base layers or thermal clothing. However, their primary benefit is ventilation in heat.
What is the benefit of the 4-way stretch panel?
The 4-way stretch panel in the crotch allows for greater freedom of movement in all directions, preventing the shorts from restricting your bending, squatting, or climbing.
What does UPF 40 protection mean?
UPF 40 means the fabric blocks approximately 97.5% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering significant protection during extended sun exposure.
How should I wash these shorts to maintain their properties?
Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on medium, and iron at a medium temperature. Crucially, do not use fabric softeners as they can degrade the 37.5® technology and UPF protection.
What material are these shorts made from?
The main fabric is 45% polyester, 30% 37.5® polyester, and 25% cotton, with a weight of 202 g/m2.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff or less breathable after washing.
Ensure you have followed the care instructions precisely, particularly avoiding fabric softeners. Re-wash with a mild detergent without softeners.
Stretch panel feels restrictive.
Verify that you have selected the correct waist size. The stretch panel is designed for flexibility; if it feels restrictive, the size may be too small.
Pockets not holding tools securely.
Ensure tools are placed correctly within the designated pockets. Some pockets have specific designs, like the ruler pocket with a knife button, to secure items.
