FAQs
Can I wear these without baggy shorts over them?
These are designed as liner shorts. While technically possible, they are not styled for standalone use and are intended to be covered.
Do I need to wear underwear under these?
No. Cycling shorts with pads should be worn directly against the skin to prevent chafing and allow the wicking material to function correctly.
How do I choose the right size?
Use your standard dress size as a guide, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit that doesn't restrict movement.
Are the shorts suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, they are excellent for mountain biking when worn under baggy shorts to provide extra comfort on technical terrain.
Will the gel insert flatten over time?
The high-quality gel is designed to maintain its shape and cushioning properties through regular use and proper care.
How do I attach these to my Altura baggy shorts?
Use the built-in waist loops on the liner to hook onto the corresponding attachment points inside your compatible Altura baggy shorts.
Troubleshooting
Shorts riding up during a ride
Ensure the silicone leg grippers are placed directly against your skin; verify that the sizing is correct for your measurements.
Moisture buildup under baggy shorts
Ensure you are wearing the undershorts directly against your skin as a base layer without any undergarments underneath.
Waistband feels restrictive
Check that the waistband is not twisted and that the size matches your natural waist measurements; adjust positioning for a lower rise if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To integrate these with your cycling setup, utilize the built-in waist loops to secure the undershorts to your preferred pair of Altura baggy shorts. This prevents the layers from shifting independently during intense movement.
For maintenance and care:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the technical fabric.
- Air dry the shorts away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the gel insert and the elasticity of the grippers.
- Ensure the shorts are fully dry before storage to prevent bacterial growth in the padding.
