FAQs
Are these shorts padded?
No, these are outer shell shorts and do not come with an integrated padded liner.
Can I use these for mountain biking?
Yes, they are specifically designed for trail riding and offer the durability and flexibility required for MTB use.
How do I ensure the right size?
These shorts follow standard UK dress sizing. Refer to the size guide for your specific waist measurement to ensure the best fit.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The zip pockets are designed for smaller items like keys, gels, or bank cards; most modern smartphones may be too large for these specific compartments.
What does the C0 DWR treatment mean?
It is an environmentally friendly, fluorine-free water-repellent finish that helps keep the fabric dry from light splashes and road spray.
Troubleshooting
Belt buckle feels loose during ride
Ensure the webbing is fed through the buckle properly and that the teeth are engaged before tightening.
Shorts are absorbing water quickly
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the shorts to remove dirt and apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent unrestricted mobility due to stretch fabric
- Secure zipper pockets provide peace of mind for small items
- Adjustable belt offers a highly customizable fit
- DWR coating helps manage trail spray and light moisture
Cons
- Not intended for heavy-duty winter weather protection
- Relaxed fit may feel baggy for those preferring aerodynamic cycling gear

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, utilize the integrated web belt to tighten the waistband once the shorts are centered on your hips. These shorts are compatible with standard padded cycling liners if you require extra cushioning for long-distance trail sessions.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a cool setting with mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating.
- Air dry whenever possible to maintain the longevity of the stretch fibers.
- If the water repellency fades after heavy use, consider applying a specialized DWR re-proofing spray to restore performance.
