FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, the durable mini-ripstop fabric, ample pocket storage, and protective design make them well-suited for mountain biking on trails.
How do I attach and detach the liner?
The liner attaches via a ClickFast system. Look for the small buttons or clips around the inside waistband of the shorts and corresponding points on the liner. They should simply snap or clip together.
Can I wear these shorts without the liner?
Yes, the liner is detachable and can be removed for washing or if you prefer to wear your own preferred padded shorts underneath.
What does 'DWR finish' mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry in light rain or spray. This finish is PFC-Free and non-toxic.
How should I wash the shorts to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying. Hang to dry. Do not iron.
What is the main difference between these and race shorts?
These Hummvee shorts are designed for more casual and all-around use, featuring a baggier fit, more pockets, and a durable construction. Race shorts are typically tighter-fitting, lighter, and have fewer features, prioritizing aerodynamics and minimal weight.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Endura Hummvee range is available in various colors, including Black, Grey, and Red, depending on the specific model and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Zipper gets stuck
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a dry lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to free it.
Liner pad feels uncomfortable
Ensure the liner is correctly positioned and fully detached/reattached if necessary. Break-in periods may be required for new pads. Consider if the size is appropriate.
Water repellency is reduced
The DWR finish can be reapplied using specialized wash-in or spray-on waterproofing treatments designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Shorts feel too warm
Open the thigh vents fully to maximize airflow. Wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath. For very hot conditions, consider shorts with more extensive mesh panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shorts come with a pre-attached ClickFast liner. To detach the liner for washing or separate use, locate the attachment points around the waistband and carefully unclip or unbutton them. Reattaching is the reverse process.
Compatibility: The ClickFast system is proprietary to Endura. Ensure you are using Endura's compatible padded liners if you choose to replace the included one. The shorts themselves are designed as outer cycling wear and are compatible with standard cycling jerseys and base layers.
Care:
- Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle.
- Use a mild detergent.
- Do NOT use fabric softener, bleach, or tumble dry.
- Fasten zippers and Velcro before washing.
- Wash the liner separately from the outer shorts if possible.
- Hang dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
