FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
These are optimized specifically for road cycling; while they can be used for other styles, the fit is best suited for the road-riding posture.
Do I wear underwear with these?
No, cycling shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin to prevent chafing and maximize the effectiveness of the materials.
How should I store these between rides?
Store them laid flat or folded carefully in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging them by the straps for extended periods to prevent elastic stretching.
Can these be tumble dried?
No, machine drying will damage the elastic properties and the integrity of the technical fabric. Always air dry.
What if I am between sizes?
Given the close-fitting nature of this garment, we recommend opting for the larger size if you prefer a slightly less compressive feel.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels too tight around the waist
Ensure the shorts are pulled up fully to align with your natural hip position, as the technical fabric is designed to stretch and conform during movement.
Leg openings sliding up
Ensure your skin is clean and free of oils or lotions before putting on the shorts, as residue can interfere with the grip of the leg hem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your shorts, always hand wash or use a delicate cycle with cool water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the technical fibers and elastic properties of the fabric. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking or warping of the elastic leg grippers. These shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin without additional layers underneath for the best performance.
