FAQs
Are these shorts padded?
These shorts are designed for their aerodynamic fit and moisture management; please check your specific equipment requirements for additional saddle padding.
How do I determine the right fit?
These shorts are a 36-inch waist size, designed for a snug, aerodynamic fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider this before purchasing as they are intended for performance compression.
Can I use these for other sports?
While designed for cycling, the moisture-wicking material is suitable for other high-intensity cardio activities, though the fit is optimized for the cycling pedal stroke.
Does the fabric stretch over time?
The high-quality polyester is designed to hold its shape, but proper care and air-drying are essential to prevent premature stretching of the fibers.
How should I clean the logo?
Wash the garment inside out to prevent direct friction against the logo during the wash cycle.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after a short ride
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers over or under the shorts. Wash without fabric softener to restore wicking efficacy.
Material showing signs of pilling
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces, such as rough saddle textures or velcro straps from other gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Skins Skinny Cycling Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can block the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not tumble dry, as extreme heat can degrade the elasticity of the fabric.
- Compatibility: These shorts pair best with standard cycling jerseys and are compatible with all common road and mountain bike saddles.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and avoid sharp objects that could snag the specialized synthetic material.
