FAQs
Can these be worn as a base layer?
Yes, due to the compression-like fit and moisture-wicking properties, they function excellently as a base layer under athletic shorts or on their own.
Does the side pocket fit a large smartphone?
The Drop-in Strength Pocket is designed for smaller essentials, though most standard-sized smartphones will fit securely while you are active.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the material is quick-drying, these are designed for gym and athletic use. The materials are not specifically treated to be chlorine-resistant.
What is the length of the inseam?
These shorts feature a 9-inch inseam, providing moderate coverage that hits above the knee for most men.
Do I need to size up for the compression fit?
The shorts are designed to fit snugly. If you prefer a less compressive feel, you may choose to size up, but this may affect the moisture-wicking efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long workouts
Ensure you are not layering heavy non-wicking materials over the shorts. The fabric works best when moisture can evaporate through the surface.
Waistband rolling or slipping
Check that the size matches your waist measurements correctly. Ensure the wide elastic band is sitting flat against the skin or base layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts do not require special setup; simply pull on and ensure the elastic waistband is positioned for optimal support. To maintain the integrity of the moisture-wicking polyester material:
- Machine Wash: Use cold water with similar colors.
- Detergent: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce effectiveness.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry to preserve the elasticity of the waistband and the shape of the gusset.
- Bleaching: Do not use bleach or iron the garment, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers.
