FAQs
Are these shorts padded?
No, the Giro Women's Ride Overshorts are not padded. They are designed to be worn over separate padded cycling undershorts for comfort and performance.
What is the main benefit of the two-way stretch fabric?
The two-way stretch fabric allows for greater freedom of movement in both the front-to-back and side-to-side directions, ensuring comfort and flexibility while cycling and during everyday activities.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the Giro sizing chart. It is recommended to measure your waist and hip circumference and compare it to the provided measurements. Consider that these are overshorts and designed to be worn over another layer.
Can I wear these shorts on their own?
While they have a stylish, casual appearance, they are designed to be worn over undershorts. Wearing them alone will not provide the necessary padding for cycling comfort.
What kind of items can I store in the zip pocket?
The zip pocket is suitable for small essentials like a credit card, ID, a house key, or a small energy gel.
How do I clean the shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors and mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.
What is the material composition?
The shorts are made from 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex, with a fabric weight of 202 g/m2.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate, non-bulky undershorts underneath. Check the sizing guide and consider if a larger size might be more comfortable for your intended use.
Zipper on the pocket is difficult to operate.
Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric around it is smooth and not bunched. A small amount of zipper lubricant or even graphite from a pencil can help if it persists.
Fabric is not drying as quickly as expected.
Ensure the shorts are not overloaded in the washing machine or dryer. Excessive detergent residue can sometimes impede drying; rinse thoroughly. Air drying in a well-ventilated area is often the most effective.
Pilling or wear on the fabric after several uses.
This can occur with high-friction activities. Ensure the shorts are washed according to care instructions and avoid prolonged contact with rough surfaces when not cycling.
