Full details
The Dare 2b Prompt II Cycling Shorts are engineered for dedicated female cyclists who require long-distance comfort during intense training blocks. Featuring the Ride Fit Pro design and an advanced dual-layer foam insert, these shorts excel at moisture management and vibration reduction for rides lasting four to six hours. While they provide exceptional technical performance, users should note that the compression-heavy aerodynamic fit is designed specifically for a crouched riding position, which may feel restrictive when walking or standing.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for indoor cycling?
Yes, their sweat-wicking properties and anti-odour finish make them excellent for hot, intense indoor sessions on a smart trainer.
Can I use these for mountain biking?
While designed for road cycling, the durable material and comfort padding make them suitable for mountain biking, though they lack abrasion-resistant outer layers if you are riding through dense brush.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The shorts are designed for a tight, aerodynamic fit. Refer to your standard UK dress size, keeping in mind the 'Ride Fit Pro' is intended to be snug.
What is the purpose of the shaped high-back waistband?
The high-back design ensures the shorts stay in place when you are hunched over in an aggressive cycling position, preventing gaps at the lower back.
How often should I wash these shorts?
For hygiene and to maintain the anti-odour properties, it is best to wash the shorts after every ride.
Troubleshooting
Fabric chafing during long rides
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly and consider using a chamois cream to further reduce friction.
Moisture buildup in the pad
Check that you are not using fabric softener during laundering, which clogs the pores of the moisture-wicking foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the shorts are pulled high on the waist, utilizing the shaped high-back design to prevent slippage. These shorts are made from polyester and are machine washable. To maintain the integrity of the foam insert and the quick-dry fibers, it is recommended to wash in cool water on a gentle cycle. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to prevent the elastic fibers from degrading. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can leave a residue on the technical fabric that impairs moisture-wicking capabilities.
