Troubleshooting
Zipper on the hidden pocket is stiff.
Gently pull the zipper while slightly bending the fabric around it. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Shorts feel too tight after washing.
Check the care label for specific washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat drying, as this can cause shrinkage. The elastane may relax slightly with wear.
Color fading quickly.
Wash the shorts inside out in cold water with like colors. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Line drying in the shade can also help preserve color.
