FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for road cycling?
While they offer comfort, they are specifically engineered for the demands of mountain biking, with features like durable fabric and rugged design suited for off-road use.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart provided, paying close attention to waist measurements. It's recommended to measure your waist circumference to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear my own padded shorts under these?
Yes, the inner liner is removable, allowing you to wear your preferred padded cycling shorts underneath if desired.
How often should I wash the shorts?
It's recommended to wash them after each significant use, especially if exposed to sweat or dirt, to maintain hygiene and fabric integrity.
What is the primary benefit of the dual-density chamois?
The dual-density chamois provides targeted cushioning and support in key pressure areas, enhancing comfort during long rides and reducing the risk of chafing.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are designed for essentials like keys, gels, or a small multi-tool. For larger items like most smartphones, they may fit but could be uncomfortable or cause bulk during active riding.
What is the warranty period for these shorts?
Please refer to the retailer or Alpinestars official website for specific warranty information as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the side waist adjusters for a personalized fit. If still uncomfortable, check the sizing chart and consider a different size.
Liner padding feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the liner is positioned correctly. If discomfort persists after several rides, the chamois density might not suit your riding style; consider alternative liners if possible.
Zipper on pockets is difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a graphite pencil or silicone-based lubricant sparingly.
Material feels stiff after washing.
This can be normal for durable polyester. Ensure you are not using fabric softener. Hang dry is recommended. The material should soften with use.
