FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for long-distance mountain biking?
The Stella A-Dura Liner Shorts offer good comfort for rides up to a few hours. For exceptionally long rides (5+ hours), some riders may prefer additional or different chamois padding.
Can I wear my own padded shorts with these?
Yes, you can remove the included liner and wear your preferred padded cycling shorts underneath. The outer shorts offer a durable and protective shell.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, paying close attention to waist and hip measurements. The UK dress size 26 is specified for this variant.
What material are the shorts made of?
The outer shorts are constructed from durable polyester. The liner features a soft, silky material.
How should I wash and care for the shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are zippered and mesh-lined, offering security for items like keys or a phone. They are not fully waterproof, so sensitive electronics should be protected further in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or loose at the waist.
Adjust the side waist adjuster until a secure yet comfortable fit is achieved.
Liner feels uncomfortable or bunches up.
Ensure the liner is correctly attached to the outer shorts. Try adjusting the liner's position or consider if a different chamois thickness might be preferred for very long rides.
Zipper on pockets is difficult to use.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
