FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are designed for fast-paced adventures in warmer conditions, including walking, trekking, and hiking. Their lightweight, durable, and flexible nature also makes them suitable for activities like scrambling and fastpacking.
How do I clean the Montane Caelum Shorts?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and dry cleaning. Close all zips before washing.
Are these shorts suitable for cold weather?
No, these shorts are optimized for warmer conditions due to their lightweight and breathable nature. They do not provide significant insulation.
What does 'VECTOR Stretch' mean?

Can I wear a climbing harness with these shorts?
Yes, the shorts feature a low-profile, harness-compatible waistband designed to work comfortably with climbing harnesses.
What is the benefit of the 50:50 waist belt design?

How much do the shorts weigh?

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel tight around the waist.
Adjust the integrated 50:50 waist belt for a more comfortable fit. Ensure the buckle is securely fastened.
Reduced water repellency after several uses.
The non-fluorocarbon water repellent finish can be revitalized by washing the shorts and then tumble drying on a low heat setting. For persistent issues, consider a re-proofing treatment suitable for technical outdoor apparel.
Pockets feel uncomfortable during activity.
Ensure items are not overstuffed in the pockets, especially the thigh pocket, which could interfere with movement. Distribute weight evenly.
