FAQs
How long are these shorts designed to last in the saddle?
The integrated foam insert is designed to provide optimal comfort for rides ranging from 4 to 6 hours.
Does the fabric provide UV protection?
Yes, the material features UPF 50+ shielding to protect against harmful UV rays during outdoor cycling.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these?
No, it is best to avoid fabric softeners as they can impede the wicking performance and the anti-odour technology of the polyester fabric.
Are the seams likely to cause chafing?
The shorts utilize flat-locked seams, which are specifically designed to lie flat against the skin to minimize friction and prevent chafing.
Do these shorts include reflective visibility features?
Yes, they feature reflective print details to help improve your visibility to other road users in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Chafing during long rides
Ensure the shorts fit snugly and consider applying an anti-chafing balm to contact areas before starting your ride.
Fabric retains odour
Ensure the shorts are washed immediately after exercise; avoid letting them sit in a damp gym bag, as this encourages bacterial growth.
Reflective print fading
Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the reflective details from abrasion against other items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the shorts are pulled snug against the skin to allow the wicking technology to function correctly. These shorts are machine washable, though it is highly recommended to wash them in cold water on a delicate cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the moisture-wicking fabric and reduce the effectiveness of the anti-odour treatment. Hang dry the shorts in a shaded area to maintain the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the foam insert, as heat from a tumble dryer can degrade performance materials over time.
