FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the recycled body fabric is designed to wick moisture and keep riders cool. However, in extremely high temperatures, removing the inner liner can enhance breathability.
How do I adjust the race-ratchet closure?
The race-ratchet closure uses a small plastic buckle system. You can slide the webbing to tighten or loosen the fit around the waist for a secure and customized feel.
Can I wear padded shorts underneath?
Yes, the outer shorts are designed to accommodate various padded liners. You can choose to remove the included liner if you prefer to wear your own padded shorts.
What does the DWR finish do?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps water and dirt bead up and roll off the fabric surface, providing protection from light rain, mud, and trail debris.
What is the inseam length?
The outer shorts have an inseam of 16.5cm (6.5 inches), and the removable liner has an inseam of 15.2cm (6 inches).
What materials are the shorts made from?
The shell is made from 74% polyamide nylon, 16% polyester, and 10% elastane. The liner is composed of 90% polyester and 10% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Zipper on pockets is stiff.
Ensure the zipper track is clean. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Shorts feel restrictive.
Verify the race-ratchet closure is adjusted correctly. Ensure the inner liner is properly seated or consider removing it for less constriction.
DWR finish is no longer effective.
Wash the shorts according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying.
Elastic waistband losing stretch.
Ensure the shorts are not stored stretched out. Follow care instructions precisely, especially regarding heat, which can degrade elastic.
