The Element ESP Orion Shorts in Sun Dots are a GOTS-certified organic cotton poplin staple designed for maximum airflow during the height of summer. The 123g/m2 lightweight fabric features a unique Sun Dots print over yarn-dyed stripes, offering a directional look in a non-restrictive "Big Fit" silhouette. These breezy shorts prioritise mobility and comfort, making them a technical yet laid-back choice for those navigating humid city streets or coastal environments.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts feature a "Big Fit" which is intentionally roomier than a standard regular cut
• The 14.2 inch leg opening provides a wide, flared silhouette that encourages constant ventilation
• The garment fits large to size to achieve its intended oversized and draped look
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size for the authentic Big Fit appearance

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30 degrees to preserve the delicate organic cotton poplin fibres
• Wash with similar colours to maintain the clarity of the yarn-dyed stripes and Sun Dots print
• Hang to dry naturally and avoid the use of a tumble dryer to prevent unnecessary shrinkage
• Use a cool iron if necessary to keep the patch pockets and hem looking crisp
• Close the side zip and snap pockets before washing to prevent any snagging in the machine

Element ESP Orion Shorts - Our FAQs

1. How thin is the 123g/m2 poplin fabric?
   This is a very lightweight fabric, specifically chosen for its ability to breathe in hot weather. It is comparable to a high-quality summer shirt weight, making these shorts incredibly airy and comfortable.

2. What makes these "Volley" shorts?
   Volley shorts are traditionally inspired by beach sports. They feature an elasticated waist and a shorter, wider cut that allows for total freedom of movement, whether you are walking or active.

3. Is the 18 inch outseam very short?
   An 18 inch outseam is a classic mid-length that typically sits a few inches above the knee for most heights, offering a tidy look that isn't as restrictive as longer, over-the-knee shorts.

4. How many pockets are there in total?
   There are five points of storage: two standard side seam pockets, one zipped patch pocket on the left leg for security, one mini snap pocket on the lower right, and a rear pocket area.
