FAQs

What is the inseam length of the Raceface Trigger Shorts?

The inseam length for these shorts is 35cm.

How long does the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish last?

The DWR finish using Dupont Teflon Shield+ is designed to remain effective for up to 60 washes.

Can I wear these shorts in the rain?

Yes, the DWR finish will help repel light rain and water, keeping you drier. For heavy downpours, additional rain gear is recommended.

What material are the shorts made of?

The shorts are made from a quick-dry fabric consisting of 89% polyester and 11% spandex, with a stretch lumbar panel made of corded Nylon.

How should I adjust the waistband?

Use the inner waistband adjustment system. It features an adjustment mechanism and a silicone gripper print to help keep the shorts securely in place.

Are there any special cleaning instructions?

Yes, machine wash cold with like colors, avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. A low heat tumble dry can help reactivate the DWR treatment.

What type of pockets do these shorts have?

They feature cargo-style storage pockets, designed for convenient carrying of cycling essentials.

Troubleshooting

Waistband not staying secure

Tighten the inner waistband adjustment system. Ensure the silicone gripper print is clean and free of debris.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR finish to the shorts or washing them according to care instructions to reactivate existing treatment.

Pockets feel too small

These are cargo-style pockets designed for secure, low-profile storage of essentials. For larger items, consider a hydration pack or jersey pockets.

Zipper puller is difficult to use

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of dirt or debris. The pullers are designed for use with gloves; if still difficult, try without gloves or clean the zipper.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent.
