FAQs
What activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for high-energy activities such as running, hiking, trail running, and general training sessions due to their lightweight, flexible, and water-repellent properties.
How do I determine my size?
Consult the brand's official sizing chart and measure your waist and hips. Compare these measurements to the chart to find the best fit. The elasticated waistband offers some flexibility.
Can I store my phone in the zipped pocket?
The pocket is designed for essentials like keys or cards. A small smartphone might fit, but it is described as discreet, suggesting limited capacity. Check dimensions if a phone is a primary storage need.
Are these shorts suitable for very wet weather?
The shorts have a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or splashes. They are not waterproof and are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What does 'PFAS Compliant' mean?
It means the product has been manufactured in compliance with regulations regarding Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), indicating a commitment to environmental standards.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the water repellency, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach during washing. Tumble drying on a low heat can help reactivate the finish. Specific re-proofing sprays can be used if the performance diminishes significantly over time.
What material are the shorts made from?
The shorts are made from 100% polyester fabric, which provides a good balance of durability, lightweight feel, and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose.
Refer to the sizing chart and compare measurements. Consider trying a different size if the fit is not optimal.
Water-repellent finish seems less effective.
Ensure the shorts are clean and free from dirt or fabric softener, which can impair water repellency. Re-treatment might be necessary after extended use or washing.
Zipped pocket is difficult to open or close.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied if necessary, but avoid over-application.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have followed the drying instructions (tumble dry on low heat). Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat.
