FAQs
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
The Castore Adapt Training Shorts have a 7-inch inseam.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the shorts offer water resistance, they are designed primarily for training and athletic activities, not as swimwear.
How should I care for the ProTek technology?
To maintain the water resistance, wash in cold water, avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not dry clean.
What material are the shorts made from?
The shorts are made from a blend of 88% polyester and 12% elastane.
Can I carry my phone in the zipped pockets?
The zipped pockets are designed for secure storage of small essentials. A standard-sized smartphone may fit, but check dimensions for optimal comfort during movement.
What does 'jacquard waistband' mean?
A jacquard waistband is a woven pattern integrated into the fabric of the waistband itself, designed to provide a comfortable, adaptive, and secure fit.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
The shorts are described as having a 'Regular fit' and are true to size. Consult a size chart if available and consider your preferred fit (e.g., if you prefer a looser fit, you might consider sizing up, though this is not standard for this product).
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight/loose at the waist
The jacquard waistband is designed to adapt. If the fit is still uncomfortable, ensure the correct size has been selected. For minor adjustments, the elastic waistband offers some flexibility.
Zipped pockets difficult to open/close
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If the issue persists, consider applying a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Water resistance diminishing after multiple washes
Washing and wear can naturally reduce the effectiveness of water-resistant treatments. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying, which can degrade the finish. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for activewear if performance is critical.
