Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar technical fabrics to maintain the Omni-Wick™ performance.
• Turn the shorts inside out before washing to protect the reflective details and bonded hem.
• Hang the shorts to dry naturally, as the 100% polyester construction is engineered for rapid air drying.
• Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibres and reduce their wicking efficiency.
• Do not iron the garment, as the heat can damage the bonded seams and synthetic side panels.

Our Three Pitch Shorts FAQs

1. What is the benefit of the bonded hem?
   A bonded hem provides a flatter, more durable finish than traditional stitching, which helps to reduce chafing and weight.

2. Are these shorts suitable for running?
   Yes, the lightweight build, moisture-wicking fabric, and reflective details make them an excellent choice for both hiking and running.

3. Is the back pocket large enough for a phone?
   The zippered back pocket is designed for secure storage of keys, cards, or small devices during active use.

4. How does Omni-Wick™ work?
   It actively disperses moisture across the fabric surface so it can evaporate quickly, keeping you dry and cool.
