Product Information
Full details
The Madison Roam Stretch Shorts are designed for female mountain bikers and gravel enthusiasts who want high-performance gear that does not sacrifice casual aesthetics. These shorts are perfect for everything from intense trail sessions to long-distance bike-packing trips, offering a tailored fit and 4-way stretch fabric for unrestricted movement on the bike. While they provide excellent durability and weather resistance with a DWR coating, they do not include a padded liner, so riders will need to pair them with their own preferred chamois.

FAQs
Do these shorts come with a chamois liner?
No, the Madison Roam Stretch Shorts are sold as an outer shell only.
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?
Yes, the lightweight, 4-way stretch material is breathable, making them suitable for warm-weather riding.
How do I wash these to keep them in good condition?
Machine wash on a cold cycle with mild detergent and hang to dry. Avoid fabric softeners.
Can I fit a large smartphone in the pockets?
Yes, the shorts feature a dedicated hidden zippered pocket specifically sized to secure modern smartphones.
Are these shorts water-proof?
They are water-resistant due to the DWR coating, which helps shed trail spray and light showers, but they are not fully waterproof.
What is the fit like compared to standard jeans?
The shorts have a tailored, athletic cut. If you prefer a looser fit for heavy-duty downhill kneepads, you may want to consider sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Shorts slipping down during rides
Tighten the integrated webbed belt using the metal adjuster clip and ensure you are wearing a grippy-surfaced chamois liner.
Water is no longer beading on the surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the shorts to remove dirt and apply a technical garment water-repellent spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the integrated metal clip on the webbed belt before starting your ride. Ensure the silicone print on the waistband is sitting directly against your liner or base layer to maximize grip.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash cold with mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating.
- Air dry whenever possible to preserve the elasticity and protective coatings.
- If you notice water stops beading on the surface, use a technical DWR spray-on treatment after cleaning to restore performance.
