FAQs
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, they feature a water-repellent finish (DWR) that sheds light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
What material are the shorts made from?
They are constructed from durable, recycled nylon using the VECTOR Stretch fabric technology.
Can I use these for climbing?
Yes, the 4-way stretch and gusseted crotch design are specifically engineered to provide the mobility needed for climbing and scrambling.
How should I clean the shorts?
Machine wash at 30°C with a gentle detergent and avoid using fabric softeners.
Are these shorts suitable for all-day hiking?
Absolutely. The pre-articulated fit and lightweight material are designed to maximize comfort during long periods of activity.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
The DWR finish may be worn off; clean the shorts to remove dirt and apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment.
Fabric feels restrictive during high-movement activities.
Check that the internal waist belt is not cinched too tightly and ensure you are wearing the correct size to allow the 4-way stretch fibers to function correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Montane Caelum Shorts maintain their performance characteristics, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: The shorts are designed with a regular fit; ensure the 50:50 waist belt is adjusted securely to prevent slippage during active use.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the synthetic nylon fibers.
- Maintenance: If water begins to soak into the fabric rather than beading on the surface, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment to restore the coating.
