FAQs
Can I wear underwear under these cycling shorts?
No, it is highly recommended to wear these shorts directly against the skin to prevent chafing and to allow the moisture-wicking technology to work effectively.
How long are these shorts designed to last in the saddle?
The integrated foam insert is optimized for comfort during rides ranging from 4 to 6 hours.
Are these shorts suitable for indoor cycling?
Yes, the moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties make them excellent for intense indoor trainer sessions.
What is the purpose of the grooves in the foam insert?
The grooves are designed to collect and guide sweat away from the body to the outer layer, keeping the rider dry.
Do the shorts have UV protection?
Yes, the material features UPF 50+ protection, which helps shield the skin from harmful UV rays during outdoor cycling.
Troubleshooting
Fabric irritation during long rides
Ensure the shorts fit properly and are pulled up correctly so the flat-locked seams sit flat against the body.
Moisture buildup in the seat area
Check that the foam insert is correctly positioned and ensure you are not wearing non-breathable undergarments underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Dare 2b Prompt II shorts, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the shorts are worn against the skin without undergarments, as the foam insert is designed to function directly against the body.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the wicking properties of the polyester and the integrity of the foam insert.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a tumble dryer, choose a low heat setting, though line drying is recommended to maintain the elasticity of the fabric.
- Storage: Keep the shorts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the reflective print elements.
