FAQs
Are these shorts machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. It is recommended to use cold water and a gentle cycle.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While the material is water-repellent and quick-drying, they are designed primarily for hiking and trekking and are not intended for use as swimwear.
Do these shorts provide UV protection?
The dense double-weave construction provides inherent protection, though they are not rated with specific UPF values.
What should I do if I get a small tear?
Because the fabric is designed for durability, small snags can often be managed with a basic gear repair patch kit.
Are these shorts true to size?
Yes, Helly Hansen generally follows standard sizing charts; however, if you plan to wear base layers underneath, you may want to check the measurements against your typical fit.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric.
The DWR finish has worn off. Wash the shorts and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a spray-on technical garment water-repellent treatment.
The zipper on the cargo pocket is sticking.
Check the track for debris or fabric fibers. Clean the area with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your shorts, use the built-in belt loops to secure a compatible trekking belt for a snug, non-slip fit. When laundering, always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the fabric fibers. Do not use fabric softeners, as these can strip the PFC-free water-repellent finish. To reactivate the DWR coating, you may tumble dry the shorts on low heat periodically, following the care label instructions found inside the garment. Always store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
