FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
While you can wear them for mountain biking, they are specifically optimized for the road cycling posture and may not offer the same protection against trail debris.
Do I wear underwear under these shorts?
No, you should wear cycling shorts directly against your skin to prevent chafing and to allow the moisture-wicking fabric to function correctly.
What is the D-8 chamois?
The D-8 is a high-density gel-infused pad designed by Funkier to provide long-distance comfort and vibration damping.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is not recommended. Heat can damage the elastic fibers and the gel pad; always air dry your cycling shorts.
Is the fabric see-through when stretched?
No, the 240gr lycra is designed to be opaque and durable even when under maximum tension.
Troubleshooting
Leg grippers causing skin irritation
Ensure the grippers are not folded and apply a small amount of chamois cream to the skin where the gripper makes contact.
Shorts shifting while riding
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the shorts are too loose, the gripper cannot maintain contact with your skin.
Chamois feeling thin after many uses
Check your wash cycle; using harsh detergents or hot water can compress the gel pad over time. Switch to a pH-neutral sport detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your size based on standard cycling apparel sizing, keeping in mind the compression nature of 240gr lycra. When putting the shorts on, pull them up fully so the chamois sits flush against the body. Care is vital for longevity: wash the shorts in cold water on a delicate cycle or hand-wash them to prevent the gel pad from breaking down. Always air dry in the shade; avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the elasticity of the fabric and the structural integrity of the gel insert.
