The UPF rating indicates how well a fabric protects your skin from harmful UV rays. A UPF rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of UV radiation, significantly reducing your risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage. This is especially important for outdoor activities, ensuring you stay protected while enjoying the sun.

A gusseted crotch is a design feature that adds extra fabric in the crotch area of shorts. This design enhances comfort and allows for greater freedom of movement, making it ideal for activities like hiking or climbing. It helps prevent restrictions and chafing, allowing you to move more freely.

An integrated belt is built into the shorts, providing a secure fit without the need for a separate belt. This feature offers a streamlined look and enhances comfort during physical activities, as it eliminates the bulk of an external belt and ensures your shorts stay in place while you move.

Moisture-wicking fabric is designed to draw sweat away from your skin and allow it to evaporate quickly. This helps keep you dry and comfortable, especially during physical activities or in hot weather. By preventing sweat from accumulating, moisture-wicking materials reduce the risk of chafing and discomfort, allowing you to focus on your performance.
