Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts feature a regular fit, offering a balanced profile through the seat and thighs that accommodates various body shapes without restriction.
• The 4.8-oz fabric provides a structured yet flexible drape that feels soft against the skin while maintaining a technical, crisp appearance.
  
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size for the intended fit, as the elasticated waist and internal drawcord allow for a forgiving and adaptable feel.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a warm cycle to maintain the technical integrity of the organic cotton and recycled polyester blend.
• Use a mild detergent and avoid the use of bleach, which can compromise the high elastane content and fade the pigment.
• Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry naturally in a shaded area to preserve the fabric's specialized stretch and recovery.
• Use a warm iron if necessary to maintain the clean lines of the cargo pockets, though the ripstop fabric is naturally resilient to heavy creasing.
• Ensure the internal drawcord is tied or tucked during the wash cycle to prevent tangling and maintain the longevity of the waistband.

Our Patagonia Nomader Shorts FAQs

1. How much stretch do these shorts actually have?
   With 13% elastane, these are some of the most flexible shorts in the Patagonia range, offering significantly more multi-directional stretch than standard chinos.

2. What makes these "multifunctional"?
   The blend of organic cotton for comfort and recycled polyester for quick-drying performance means they work equally well for a morning hike or a casual lunch.

3. Are the thigh cargo pockets bulky?
   No, the pockets are designed with a low-profile construction to provide extra storage for a phone or map without creating a wide, flared silhouette.

4. Is the fabric suitable for very hot weather?
   Yes, the 4.8-oz weight is specifically chosen for its airy feel, and the mesh pocket linings help to increase ventilation as you move.
