FAQs
Can I wear these as standalone shorts?
No, these are designed as liner shorts to be worn under baggy cycling shorts or casual clothing.
Do I need to wear underwear with these?
No. The shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin for the best moisture management and comfort.
Are these suitable for indoor cycling?
Yes, they provide excellent comfort for static exercise bikes, especially when worn under loose-fitting athletic shorts.
How do the waist loops work?
The loops on the waistband are designed to hook onto corresponding buttons or tabs inside compatible Altura baggy shorts to keep the liner in place.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts are sized by standard UK dress sizes. Choose your usual size for a comfortable, snug fit.
Troubleshooting
Shorts bunching or slipping while riding
Ensure the silicone leg grippers are in direct contact with your skin and the waistband is properly adjusted. Use the integrated loops to tether them to outer shorts.
Moisture buildup during long rides
Ensure the shorts are worn directly against the skin as a base layer. Wearing underwear underneath will trap moisture and negate the wicking benefits of the fabric.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Gel insert significantly increases comfort for long rides
- Versatile design allows for use under everyday clothing
- Effective moisture management keeps skin dry
- Secure fit provided by silicone grippers and waist loops
Cons
- Not intended to be worn as outer shorts
- Lacks storage pockets for ride essentials
- Requires careful laundering to maintain pad integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum comfort, pull the shorts up firmly so the Progel pad sits snugly against your body. If wearing with Altura baggy shorts, thread the waist loops through the corresponding anchors in your outer garment to secure the layers together.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric.
- Air dry in the shade to maintain the elasticity of the silicone grippers and the integrity of the gel pad.
- Do not iron or tumble dry.
