FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for road cycling?
While comfortable, the baggy fit is primarily designed for MTB and off-road riding. For road cycling, a more streamlined fit might be preferred.
Can I wear padded cycling shorts underneath?
Yes, these shorts are designed to be worn over padded cycling shorts for added comfort on longer rides.
What is the main benefit of the Bi-Stretch fabric?
The Bi-Stretch fabric provides four-way stretch, offering superior freedom of movement, comfort, and durability during dynamic activities like cycling.
How do I ensure the best fit with the side-adjusters?
Adjust the velcro tabs at the waist until the shorts feel snug but not restrictive. They should stay in place during activity without causing discomfort.
How effective is the sun protection?
The shorts offer UPF 50+ protection, which blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent defense against sunburn.
Are the pockets secure enough for a phone?
The two cargo pockets are open, suitable for items you need quick access to. The zippered back pocket offers more security for essentials like keys or a small wallet, but a large phone might be best carried in a jersey pocket.
Troubleshooting
Velcro adjusters losing grip
Clean the velcro surfaces with a brush or a damp cloth to remove lint and debris. Ensure the velcro is fully engaged when tightening.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down until it moves smoothly.
Fabric feels less breathable after washing
Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing. Rinse the shorts thoroughly in cold water and air dry, which can help restore breathability.
Reflective details are peeling or damaged
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to iron. Hand wash gently around the affected area.
