Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question
How do Free Fly bottoms fit — should I size up or down?

Most Free Fly bottoms run true to size with stretch built into the fabric, so your usual size is the right call for most people. Fits do vary by style — from the Breeze line's relaxed cut to the slimmer Anchor 5 Pocket — so check the Size & Fit notes and the size guide on each product page before ordering.

Can I swim in the Reverb Short?

Yes — the Reverb is part athletic short, part swim short, part everyday short. The quick-dry, water-resistant fabric (PFAS-free DWR) handles a creek dip or a swim, then dries fast enough to head straight to your post-hike plans.

What pockets does the Reverb Short have?

Mesh-lined hand pockets that breathe and drain, plus a back patch pocket for keys or a wallet.

How should I wash and dry these?

Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or hang dry. Skip bleach and fabric softener — they break down stretch fibers. Always check the sewn-in care label; some fabrics, like Free Fly's stretch canvas, do best washed inside out and hung to dry.
