At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Water-based adventures such as kayaking, paddleboarding, or swimming where rapid drying times are essential.
• Hiking and mountain trekking where the gusseted crotch allows for full leg extension on steep terrain.
• Everyday summer use in the city for those who appreciate a functional, utility-focused aesthetic.
• Travel and backpacking due to the lightweight, packable nature of the nylon ottoman material.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts feature a loose fit with a 10 inch inseam, offering a relaxed and airy profile that sits comfortably above the knee.
• The integrated webbing belt allows for easy adjustments on the go, making them highly versatile for different waist shapes.
• We recommend taking your usual size.
• The mesh pocket bags and lightweight fabric ensure the shorts remain comfortable and do not drag even when fully submerged.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool, delicate cycle up to 30°C to maintain the integrity of the nylon fibres.
• Do not tumble dry, instead hang the shorts to dry naturally, which is highly efficient due to the quick-dry material.
• Avoid the use of bleach or fabric softeners as these can compromise the technical performance of the ottoman weave.
• Wash with similar colours to preserve the pigment of the fabric.
• If necessary, iron on a very low setting, though the nylon construction naturally resists heavy creasing.
