FAQ
How do I know which size of Magellan Explorer Shorts will fit me best?
These shorts come in waist sizes 28 to 38 with an 8.5-inch inseam and 19-inch outseam (size 33). They feature an adjustable belt-loop waistband with a hidden drawcord for a secure, customizable fit. We recommend checking the Bajallama size chart linked on the product page to find your ideal size based on your waist measurement. The fabric includes spandex for stretch, accommodating active movement comfortably.
Will these shorts hold up well if I wear them for hiking or travel frequently?
Yes, the Magellan Explorer Shorts are made with durable Llamaxplorer™ fabric—a recycled poly, cotton, and spandex blend—treated with DWR for quick drying. The rugged material and reinforced vents help maintain comfort and performance on long hikes or travel days. Their quality construction ensures longevity, so you get excellent cost-per-wear value from frequent use.
Can these shorts get wet without becoming uncomfortable or taking forever to dry?
These shorts have a durable water repellent (DWR) finish that helps them shed water quickly. The fabric dries faster than typical cotton shorts thanks to the recycled poly blend and quick-dry treatment. This means you'll stay comfortable during outdoor activities in damp conditions and avoid that heavy, soggy feeling after getting wet.
How should I care for my Magellan Explorer Shorts to keep them in good condition?
Machine wash the shorts cold inside out with like colors to protect the DWR finish and fabric integrity. Tumble dry on low heat to avoid damaging the fibers. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can reduce water repellency. Following these care instructions keeps the shorts performing well and looking sharp longer.
Are the pockets secure enough to keep my valuables safe during active use?
Yes, the shorts offer multiple zip-secure pockets, including a hidden zip pocket on the double rear pockets and a passport-sized side seam zip pocket. These features keep your essentials locked in place, so you can move freely without worrying about losing keys, cards, or your phone during activities like hiking or travel.
