Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Big Wall Short is designed for active adult males who require reliable gear for climbing, hiking, and outdoor exploration. These shorts provide exceptional freedom of movement through a two-tone stretch fabric, while the integrated ripstop finish offers added durability against abrasive rock surfaces. While they include a DWR finish for light showers, they are not fully waterproof, so they may require a shell layer in heavy, sustained rain.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for all-day climbing?
Yes, the stretch fabric and ripstop durability make them ideal for extended climbing sessions and approaches.
Does the belt come with the shorts?
Yes, the shorts feature an integrated belted waistband with a buckle as a standard feature.
How do I wash these shorts?
Machine wash in cold water with a technical cleaner, avoid fabric softeners, and air dry to protect the water-resistant coating.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets have bonded, water-resistant zips designed to shed water, but they are not fully submersible or waterproof.
Is the fabric heavy?
The fabric is designed for durability and flexibility, striking a balance between lightweight comfort and rugged protection.
Troubleshooting
Buckle keeps slipping during activity
Ensure the webbing is fed through the buckle teeth correctly and pull the excess strap firmly to lock the tension.
Water soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR coating is likely worn down; apply a technical fabric re-proofer spray after a clean wash and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the coating.
Zip is sticking or hard to pull
Check for debris or grit in the zip track and clean with a soft brush; occasionally rub a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, utilize the built-in buckle system to cinch the waist after stepping into the shorts. The regular cut is designed to fit standard waist measurements; check the internal sizing label to confirm the specific size (e.g., 36) matches your preference.
Care instructions involve washing in cold water with mild detergent to preserve the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can impede the water-repelling properties of the fabric. Always zip the pockets closed before laundering to protect the bonded zip teeth. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the stretch fibers.
