Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts last for multiple seasons, proper care is essential. Always fasten the race-ratchet closure before washing to prevent damage to the mechanism or snagging on other items. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the technical stretch properties of the nylon fabric. Hang dry the shorts to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers; heat from a dryer can lead to premature wear and shrinkage. When choosing your size, remember these shorts are designed for an athletic fit; if you prefer a looser style for layering over base-layer chamois, consider your fit preferences carefully.
