FAQs
Are these shorts padded?

Can I use these for road cycling?
While wearable for any cycling, the loose, technical fit is optimized for mountain biking and may create excess drag on road bikes.
How do I wash these shorts?
Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, and air dry to preserve the technical coating.
What is the material composition?
The shorts are constructed from high-durability, quick-drying polyester ripstop fabric.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the pockets feature secure zips to ensure your items remain safe during technical descent maneuvers.
Do they provide sun protection?
Yes, the fabric features an integrated UPF 50+ rating to block harmful UV rays.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive during pedaling
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly so the raised back panel aligns with your lower back; adjust the clasp closure for a more secure fit.
Water-repellency wearing off
After several washes, the DWR coating may need refreshing; use a technical garment re-proofer spray designed for synthetic cycling gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure you choose the correct size based on your waist measurement to take full advantage of the ergonomic tailoring. As these shorts are made from durable polyester, they are machine washable. To preserve the water-repellent coating and the integrity of the ripstop weave, avoid using heavy fabric softeners or bleach. Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's technical properties over time. Check the zip fly and clasp closure before every ride to ensure they are secure.
