Washing & Care Instructions

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.

   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?
