Product Information

Full details

The Montane Men’s Volantis Shorts are designed for adult males seeking versatile, lightweight, and durable shorts for various outdoor activities. Their key benefit is the exceptional freedom of movement and comfort provided by the GRANITE Stretch Nano fabric, making them suitable for running, hiking, scrambling, and swimming. A potential caveat is their highly technical nature, which might be overkill for casual, non-athletic wear.

FAQs

What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?

They are highly versatile and ideal for running, hiking, scrambling, swimming, and other dynamic outdoor activities where freedom of movement and lightweight comfort are important.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Montane sizing guide, paying close attention to waist measurements, as the shorts feature an adjustable waistband for a customizable fit.

Are these shorts waterproof?

The shorts feature a non-fluorocarbon DWR treatment, which provides water resistance against light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof.

Can I wear these for casual everyday use?

While comfortable, their technical design and lightweight fabric are optimized for athletic performance. They can be worn casually, but may be more minimalist than typical casual shorts.

What is the inseam length of these shorts?

The product description specifies 'Volantis 7" Shorts', indicating a 7-inch inseam length.

How do I maintain the stretch and water repellency?

Wash with a mild liquid detergent on a gentle cycle, avoid fabric softener, and tumble dry on low. Reapply water repellency treatment as needed following product instructions.

What material are the shorts made from?

They are made from GRANITE Stretch Nano fabric, which is 87% Nylon (recycled) and 13% Elastane.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel restrictive after washing

Ensure you are using a mild, eco-friendly liquid detergent and have avoided fabric softeners, which can stiffen the fabric.

Water repellency has decreased

The DWR treatment may need to be reapplied. Follow the instructions for a technical re-waterproofing product.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and water. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the mechanism. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can also help.

Fit is not ideal

Ensure the waistband is adjusted correctly. If the size is fundamentally wrong, consider exchanging for a different size based on the size guide.
