Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided size chart. The 'loose' fit is intentional; consider a different style if a tighter fit is preferred.

Fabric pilling after washing

Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing with like colors and avoiding harsh detergents or high heat drying. Use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.

Sweat not wicking effectively

Ensure the garment is not overloaded with fabric softener, which can impede wicking properties. Wash the shorts to remove any residue.

Compression layer feels too tight

Verify the size selection. The compression layer is designed to be snug; however, if it causes significant discomfort, the size might be incorrect or the style may not be suitable.
