FAQs
Are these undershorts suitable for long-distance cycling?
The memory foam pad offers comfort for everyday rides and commutes. For very long distances (e.g., centuries or multi-day tours), riders may prefer a more advanced chamois found in dedicated cycling bibs or shorts.
Can I wear these without cycling shorts?
Yes, they are designed to be worn as a base layer under casual trousers or shorts. They can also be worn on their own for very short, casual rides if preferred, though they are intended as an undergarment.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the Altura sizing guide available on their website or product packaging. Measure your waist and hips to find the best fit.
How often should I wash these undershorts?
It is recommended to wash them after each use to maintain hygiene and fabric integrity.
What is the main benefit of the bonded leg hem?
The bonded leg hem provides a smooth, seamless finish that stays in place without digging into the skin or creating noticeable lines under outer clothing.
Is the memory foam pad removable?
No, the memory foam pad is integrated into the design of the undershorts and is not removable.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Altura sizing chart. The elastic waistband is designed to be snug but not restrictive.
Leg hems are rolling up.
Verify that the size is correct. If the hems continue to roll, ensure they are lying flat against the leg when putting on outer layers.
Padding feels uncomfortable after a short ride.
The memory foam pad may require a short break-in period. Ensure the undershorts are positioned correctly on the body, with the pad centered.
