Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Most users find these fit accurately at the waist
• We recommend taking your usual size for a standard fit

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a cool cycle to preserve the integrity of the nylon fibres and maintain the garment's shape
• Chemicals in softeners can clog the technical weave and reduce the fabric's ability to dry quickly
• The 100% nylon construction is designed to air dry in minutes; avoid the high heat of a tumble dryer to prevent damage to the elastic
• To keep the deep black finish looking sharp, avoid laundering with lighter garments that may shed lint

Purple Mountain Observatory Track Shorts - Our FAQs

1. Can I use these as swim shorts?
   Yes, the 100% nylon fabric and quick-dry technology mean they perform exceptionally well in and out of the water, much like a technical hybrid short.

2. Will the fabric stretch?
   While nylon is highly durable and holds its shape well, it does not have inherent stretch like elastane; however, the athletic cut ensures there is plenty of room for movement.

3. Are they breathable?
   Absolutely, the lightweight nature of the nylon allows for excellent heat dissipation, keeping you cool during the summer months.

4. Is the waistband adjustable?
   These shorts feature a sturdy elasticated waistband designed to sit securely, often complemented by an internal or external drawstring for a custom fit.
