FAQs
Can I wear the shorts without the liner?
Yes, the liner is independent and can be removed, allowing you to use the shorts as casual activewear or with your own preferred liner.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The shorts are designed for breathability and comfort with stretch fabric; they are not classified as fully waterproof, though they handle light trail spray well.
How should I wash these to protect the seat pad?
Use a delicate machine cycle with a mild detergent and air dry to keep the foam seat pad resilient.
Are these suitable for long-distance bikepacking?
Yes, the combination of durable materials and the included seat pad makes them well-suited for multi-day adventures.
Is the phone pocket large enough for modern smartphones?
The pocket is designed to be large and secure, fitting most standard and large-format modern smartphones comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Seat pad feels uncomfortable or shifts during ride
Ensure the independent liner is pulled up firmly and seated correctly against your skin before layering the outer shorts.
Outer shorts snagging on saddle
Check that the shorts are sized correctly; an oversized baggy fit may catch on the nose of the saddle during technical maneuvers.
Zipper sticking on the phone pocket
Clear any trapped grit or dirt from the zipper track using a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify the liner is properly aligned with your anatomy before mounting the bike to prevent the seat pad from bunching. These shorts are designed to be machine washable, though it is recommended to wash on a cool, gentle cycle to maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric and the foam density in the seat pad. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can compromise the moisture-wicking capabilities of the materials. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items in the drum.
