FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for outdoor running?

Yes, they feature UPF 50+ protection, making them ideal for outdoor running and training in sunny conditions.

Can I put these in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air dry them to prolong the life of the elastic and the technical fabric properties.

What is the material composition?

The shorts are crafted from performance-grade polyester designed for durability and rapid moisture evaporation.

Are they truly squat-proof?

Yes, the fabric is tested to be over 99% squat-proof, providing full opacity during deep squats and lunges.

How do I use the internal pocket?

The open pocket is located at the inner waistband, designed to hold small, flat items like a key, coin, or a gym locker fob.

Do the seams cause chafing?

The shorts utilize flat-locked seams specifically designed to sit flush against the skin and eliminate the friction that leads to chafing.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels damp after long workouts

Ensure you are using a light, technical base layer rather than cotton, and avoid fabric softeners during laundering which can clog the wicking pores.

Waistband sliding down during movement

Verify the sizing; while the elastic is designed for a secure fit, the garment may slide if the size is too large for your hip-to-waist ratio.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Dare 2b Upbeat Shorts maintain their performance features, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce the fabric's ability to pull sweat away from your skin.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a machine, select a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the elastic components.
  3. Storage: Store flat or hung to maintain the shape of the elastic waistband and avoid excessive stretching.
  4. Compatibility: The shorts are designed for standard athletic use and pair well with both compression and loose-fit training tops.
