Product Information
Full details
These Nike Essential 5" Cycle Shorts in Black are designed for adult women seeking comfortable and functional activewear for both casual summer wear and workouts. Their key benefit is the combination of a supportive fit with sweat-wicking technology. A potential consideration is the specific 5" inseam length, which may not suit everyone's preference. Key features include a high-rise elastic waistband, peachy-soft stretchy fabric, Dri-FIT technology for moisture management, and a durable construction.

FAQs
What activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are versatile and suitable for cycling, running, gym workouts, and casual everyday wear, especially in warmer conditions.
What material are the shorts made of?
The shorts are made from a blend of 47% Cotton, 41% Polyester, and 12% Elastane, providing a soft feel, stretch, and durability.
How do I know if I need a size 8 UK?
A size 8 UK generally corresponds to specific body measurements. It's recommended to consult Nike's official sizing chart for precise measurements.
Can I wear these shorts in cold weather?
While they offer some warmth, they are primarily designed for comfort in moderate to warm temperatures or for indoor activities. For very cold weather, layering or warmer athletic wear might be more appropriate.
How should I wash these shorts to maintain their quality?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use mild detergent, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and ironing directly on prints.
Does the 5" inseam offer good coverage?
The 5" inseam is a shorter length that typically hits mid-thigh. Coverage can vary based on individual leg length and preferred fit.
Are these shorts suitable for plus-size individuals?
This specific listing is for a size 8 UK. Nike offers a range of sizes, and other listings may be available for different size ranges.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to Nike's sizing chart if unsure. The fabric has some stretch, but proper sizing is crucial for comfort.
Fabric is not wicking sweat effectively.
Ensure the shorts are not overloaded with fabric softener during washing, as this can clog the fibers and reduce wicking ability. Wash with like colors and avoid excessive heat when drying.
Waistband feels loose after a few wears.
Check the care instructions. Avoid excessive heat in the dryer, which can degrade elastic over time. If the waistband loses significant elasticity, it may be time for a replacement.
