FAQs

What type of cycling are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are specifically designed for MTB and off-road rides, offering the comfort and freedom of movement needed for technical trails and summer conditions.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the product sizing chart provided by Bicycle Line. The size '12' refers to UK women's dress size 12. The velcro adjusters offer some flexibility, but choosing the correct base size is important for comfort.

Are these shorts waterproof?

No, these shorts are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and moisture management, making them suitable for warm weather riding, not rain protection.

Can I wear padded cycling shorts underneath?

Yes, these baggy shorts are designed to be worn over padded cycling shorts or base layers for added comfort and support during longer rides.

How durable is the fabric?

The shorts are made from a resistant Polyamide and Elastane blend (Fourty Bi-Stretch fabric), designed to withstand the rigors of off-road cycling while maintaining flexibility.

What is the purpose of the key holder?

The key holder, located inside the left front pocket, is a small, secure loop designed to keep a key from moving around or potentially getting lost during your ride.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight/loose despite initial adjustment

Re-adjust the velcro side-adjusters. Ensure they are evenly tensioned on both sides. Consider if you are wearing thicker base layers underneath which might affect the fit.

Reduced breathability or moisture-wicking performance

Check if the mesh inserts or fabric are clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the shorts according to care instructions, ensuring no fabric softener is used. Ensure the shorts are fully dry before storing.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric around it is taut. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reflective details are peeling or damaged

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective elements. If damage has occurred, the reflective function will be compromised in those areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shorts require no setup. Simply adjust the velcro side-adjusters for a comfortable and secure fit around your waist before wearing. Ensure the snap button, hook-and-eye closure, and zip fly are properly fastened.

Compatibility: Designed for women, these shorts are compatible with standard cycling chamois or can be worn over base layers for added comfort. They are suitable for a wide range of cycling activities including mountain biking, trail riding, and general off-road adventures.

Care: To maintain the fabric's integrity and performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors.
  2. Detergent: Use mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid direct high heat.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. If necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of any printed or reflective elements.
