FAQs
Should my child wear underwear under these shorts?
No. These shorts are designed to be worn against the skin to maximize moisture wicking and prevent chafing from underwear seams.
Can these shorts be machine washed?
Yes, on a delicate cycle in cool water. We recommend using a laundry bag to protect the fabric and grippers.
Are the materials safe for sensitive skin?
The garment uses hypoallergenic silicone grippers and an antibacterial pad, which are designed to be skin-friendly.
What is the primary material used?
The shorts are constructed from durable and quick-drying nylon-based Xtract fabric.
Are these shorts suitable for indoor cycling trainers?
Yes, they are excellent for indoor use as their wicking properties handle sweat efficiently in controlled environments.
Troubleshooting
Shorts riding up while riding
Ensure the silicone leg grippers are clean and free of lotion or oil which can reduce their grip effectiveness.
Moisture buildup during long rides
Check that the shorts are being worn without underlying cotton underwear, as cotton prevents the wicking properties of the fabric from working.
Gel pad losing shape
Avoid machine drying; use only air drying to prevent heat-related damage to the multi-density foam and gel components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Endura Xtract Gel Shorts, observe the following care protocols. Always wash the shorts in cold water, preferably using a delicate cycle inside a laundry bag to protect the silicone grippers and the gel insert. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the technical fibers of the nylon fabric, hindering its ability to wick moisture. Hang dry the shorts in a shaded area; avoid high-heat tumble drying, as extreme temperatures can deform the antibacterial gel pad and degrade the elasticized silicone grippers. These shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin to ensure the chamois pad functions as intended.
