FAQs

What type of cycling are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are versatile and suitable for trail riding, mountain biking, commuting, and general leisure cycling due to their durable, stretch fabric and comfortable fit.

Are liner shorts included with the Freewheel Trail Shorts?

No, liner shorts are not included but are recommended for longer rides and can be purchased separately.

How do I clean the shorts?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent and no fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

What is the DWR coating for?

The C0 DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating helps to repel light rain, mud, and trail spray, keeping you drier and the shorts cleaner.

How do I adjust the waistband?

The shorts feature an integrated web belt and lightweight buckle that can be easily adjusted for a secure and personalized fit.

What is the warranty on these shorts?

The Madison Freewheel Trail Shorts come with a limited lifetime warranty.

Can I store my phone in the pockets?

Yes, the secure zip pockets on the thighs are suitable for storing essentials like a phone, keys, or a small multi-tool.

Troubleshooting

Waistband adjustment slips during ride

Ensure the lightweight buckle is securely fastened. If slippage persists, consider wearing a belt over the shorts or seeking a size that offers a snugger fit without the belt.

Water repellency decreases after washing

Re-apply a C0 DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product's instructions for application, which typically involves washing and heat setting.

Pockets feel restrictive when full

Distribute weight evenly across pockets. For bulkier items, consider using a small cycling backpack or saddle bag.
