FAQs
Are these shorts padded?

Can I wear these for hiking?

How do I wash these shorts?
Machine wash in cold water. Do not bleach or use heavy fabric softeners to protect the technical coatings.
Do the pockets stay closed during rides?
Yes, they feature secure zippered closures designed specifically to keep items contained during bumpy trail riding.
What does the UPF 50+ protection do?
It provides a high level of protection against harmful ultraviolet rays, keeping your skin safe during long days in the sun.
Are they waterproof?
They are water-repellent, meaning they shed light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellency seems to be fading
Apply a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing to restore the coating.
Shorts feel restrictive during movement
Ensure the waistband is properly adjusted and not positioned too high or low on the hips; re-adjust the clasp for a secure yet flexible fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the shorts sit comfortably at the waist using the provided clasp. Because these are technical shorts, it is recommended to pair them with a padded cycling liner for optimal comfort on long rides. To care for your gear, machine wash on a cool cycle and avoid using heavy fabric softeners, which can degrade the water-repellent finish. Hang dry to maintain the integrity of the ripstop fabric and prevent shrinkage.
