Product Information
Full details
These Sweaty Betty Explorer Track Piped Shorts are designed for active women seeking a blend of retro athletic style and modern comfort. They offer lightweight breathability and four-way stretch for unrestricted movement during workouts, while their streamlined cut and contrast piping make them suitable for casual wear post-activity. A key caveat to consider is their focus on athletic performance, meaning they may offer less support than dedicated compression shorts.

FAQs
What activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for running, gym workouts, HIIT, and general fitness activities. They also work well for casual, everyday wear due to their stylish design.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Sweaty Betty apparel. These shorts are designed for a regular fit, so consider your usual size. The adjustable drawcord allows for some flexibility.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are not designed as swimwear. They are intended for athletic performance and casual wear on land.
Are these shorts compressive?
No, these shorts are designed for lightweight comfort and freedom of movement, not for compression. They offer a relaxed, easy fit.
How do I care for the contrast piping?
Avoid high heat when washing or drying, and do not iron directly on the piping to maintain its appearance.
What material are the shorts made from?
They are made from an ultra-lightweight Explorer fabric that is breathable and quick-drying.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as this can affect the fabric's quick-drying and breathable properties. Try air drying instead of tumble drying.
Waistband is too loose or too tight
Adjust the drawcord for a secure fit. If the waistband is consistently too loose even when tightened, consider if the size is appropriate.
Pockets seem too small for larger items
The side slip pockets are designed for small essentials like keys or cards. For carrying larger items, consider using a running belt or a bag.
