Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're so pleased to hear you are happy with your new shorts.
These were brilliant socks
These were brilliant socks - everything I wanted - until I washed them! I put them on a cool wash but they shrunk to a matted mess and are now unwearable. It would be useful to warn customers clearly that these socks can only be hand-washed. This is an important caveat. I shall now throw the socks away - having only worn them for one day's hiking and spent a fair amount of money in purchasing them.

Hi Frances,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your socks shrank during the wash and are now unwearable.
We always want our customers to get the longest life possible out of their hiking gear. Because merino wool is a natural, delicate fibre, it does require specific care to prevent felting and shrinkage.
We would like to reassure you that we aim to be transparent about this, and complete washing guidelines are listed clearly on the product page online.
The product details highlight that these specific merino socks require gentle hand-washing to protect the natural wool structure. Even a cool machine wash can cause wool fibres to mat together due to the drum's agitation.
If you need any help or further information regarding the maintenance and care of our items in the future, please feel free to get in touch with our customer service team who will be happy to assist.

No refund yet
Quick dry leggings were too hard and uncomfortable. They slipped down as soon as I walked so I returned them. Had an email to say return received at the start of May but I’m still waiting on the refund 7 weeks later.
I’ve tried to contact them multiple times but keep getting a ‘were really busy’ reply without getting any proper answers.

Dreadful clothes and returns process
Update: I have managed to get a refund but only after emailing again using “URGENT REFUND ESCALATION” as the email subject line.
Dreadful clothes, dreadful customer service and withholding money. I would avoid at ALL costs. I have an email confirming they have received my return but no refund and no answers to several follow up emails. Have opened a case against them on Resolver.

Hi Hannah,
Thank you for your review. We can confirm that your refund has now been fully processed.
Your return was safely received at our warehouse on 27th May and our standard terms state that returns can take up to 21 working days to process. This refund was completed within 18 working days, which sits safely inside our stated window.
We completely understand that waiting for a refund can be frustrating. However, we do not withhold funds; every return simply requires manual inspection by our team to maintain quality standards.
We sincerely apologise that our communication response times did not meet your expectations while you waited. We are actively working to speed up our email queues to prevent these delays in the future.

Love the MAX Stretch Thermal Skinny Outdoor Trousers have 3 pairs now.
Only downside is the sizing can be a bit and miss. I'm normally a size 10, I have 2 size 10's which are a little too generous. But the third pair (latest purchase) is a size 8 and a perfect fit.😊
Website is easy to use.
Delivery is excellent

If these trousers were a properly, they would be amazing, amazing, amazing. They have a great connection with your body, moving with you naturally without the tight, uncomfortable fit that you can't wait to get out of. Quite the opposite—you won't want to take them off. I'd describe them as smart-looking jogger-style trousers with outstanding comfort. Service Great too.

Unacceptable and disappointed to they have put things right!
Since writing my original review, Acai have been in touch and I received my order, they even paid for next day delivery to make up for it hence I've moved them from 1 star to 3 stars and reworded my review.
Slow refund process but they've acknowledged this now and I still need to wait for the 21 working days to be up.
Big sale promotion, I imagine lots of orders and money coming in leading to lots of refunds not processed in time. Acai said they were inundated with orders to their warehouse which caused a backlog which they're working hard to clear.
I feel if the email queries were answered a little quicker, this would help. Just knowing what was happening to my very late order made me feel a bit more trust that I would receive it.
Upside, motion shorts were a lovely colour, great fit and good quality.
Overall I'm still not sure I'd recommend ordering from them if it continues to be this hard work.
