FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, the durable polyester construction and comfortable foam insert make them suitable for mountain biking, though they are designed primarily with a road-cycling ergonomics focus.
Do I need to wear underwear with these?
No, these cycling shorts are designed to be worn without underwear. Wearing underwear can cause chafing and interfere with the moisture-wicking properties of the garment.
How long will the antibacterial treatment last?
With proper care—specifically avoiding harsh chemicals and tumble drying—the antibacterial properties are designed to last for the expected lifespan of the garment.
Can I use these for indoor trainer sessions?
Absolutely. The Coolmax fabric is excellent for indoor trainers where airflow is lower and sweat management is critical.
Are the reflective details effective for night riding?
The Stay Seen reflective details significantly improve your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions, though they should be used in conjunction with active lights.
Troubleshooting
Shorts riding up during a ride
Ensure the gel gripper hems are placed directly against clean skin and not over other fabric layers.
Feeling discomfort after 3 hours
Ensure you are using proper cycling shorts sizing and that your saddle height is correctly adjusted to prevent excessive shifting in the seat.
Fabric holding onto moisture
Check if you have used fabric softener during washing, which coats the fibers and prevents them from wicking; re-wash without softener.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your cycling shorts, proper maintenance is essential:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the synthetic fibers.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the elasticity of the fabric and damage the internal foam insert.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Compatibility: These shorts are compatible with all standard cycling saddles. Because they feature a professional-grade antibacterial foam insert, they are designed to be worn without additional underwear to prevent friction and maximize the wicking benefits.
