FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for trail running?
These shorts are primarily designed for road running, track, and treadmill use due to their lightweight construction and integrated liner. For trail running, shorts with more durable fabric and potentially more pockets might be preferable.
Can I wear compression shorts under these?
While these shorts have built-in inner shorts, you can wear thin compression shorts underneath if you prefer additional support. However, it might affect breathability and add bulk.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the Karrimor sizing guide provided by the retailer. Measure your waist and hips and compare them to the chart to find the best fit for UK dress size 16.
What is the purpose of the flatlock stitching?
Flatlock stitching is used to create smooth, low-profile seams that lie flat against the skin. This minimizes irritation and prevents chafing, especially during repetitive movements like running.
Do these shorts have pockets?
The product description does not specify pockets on the overshorts. Running shorts of this style often feature a small, secure pocket for a key or a gel, but this should be confirmed with the retailer if pockets are essential.
How should I care for the Karrimor branding?
Avoid ironing directly on the Karrimor branding. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out and use a low heat setting.
What does '2 in 1' mean for these shorts?
The '2 in 1' refers to the design that combines a pair of outer running shorts with a built-in inner short or brief. This offers the coverage and support of two layers in one garment.
Troubleshooting
Inner shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size by referring to the Karrimor sizing chart. If the shorts are the correct size, the inner shorts may take a few wears to break in.
Chafing occurs despite inner shorts
Verify that the inner shorts are not bunching up. Ensure the flatlock seams are positioned correctly against the skin. Consider applying anti-chafing balm in potential problem areas before your run.
Fabric feels less breathable after washing
Check that you are following the recommended care instructions, especially regarding water temperature and avoiding fabric softeners, which can clog fabric pores and reduce breathability. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
Waistband feels loose
Confirm the correct size has been purchased. If the size is correct, the elastic may have stretched over time. For a temporary fix, a running belt can add extra security.
