FAQs
Are these shorts padded?
No, these are shell shorts designed to be worn over your preferred padded cycling liner or bib shorts.
Can these be used for hiking as well as cycling?
Yes, their lightweight, flexible design and secure pockets make them excellent for hiking and other outdoor activities.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are secure with zip closures but are not rated as waterproof. Always keep electronic devices in a dry bag if heavy rain is expected.
How do I determine my size?
The shorts are sized by UK dress standards. It is recommended to consult a standard garment sizing chart before purchasing.
Is the DWR finish permanent?
No, DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finishes will naturally degrade over time with washing and exposure to trail conditions, but they can be refreshed with aftermarket products.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the shorts.
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Wash the shorts to remove dirt and consider applying a technical wash-in or spray-on DWR restorer.
Buckle slips during a ride.
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the buckle teeth; occasionally clean the buckle with a damp cloth to remove grit that may prevent the teeth from gripping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, utilize the integrated web belt to customize the tension around your waist before setting off. These shorts are designed as casual-fit cycling bottoms and are highly compatible with most padded under-shorts or bib liners.
Care Instructions:
- Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the DWR finish.
- Avoid using harsh fabric softeners which can clog the DWR coating.
- Hang dry to maintain the integrity of the stretch fibers.
- Re-apply a DWR spray treatment annually if you notice water no longer beads on the surface.
