Troubleshooting
Leg grippers sliding during rides

Chafing on long rides

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Endura bibshorts, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature (30°C) using a mild detergent.
- Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners as they degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the nylon fabric.
- Drying: Air dry only; avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the gel inserts and the elasticity of the grippers.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing them to prevent mold or bacterial growth on the chamois.
- Fit: These bibshorts should fit snugly against the skin to allow the wicking technology to function correctly; ensure the straps are laid flat against the shoulders to avoid tension.
