FAQs
Are these shorts water-resistant?
Yes, they feature water-repellent panels designed to handle trail spray and light moisture.
Can I use these for road cycling?
While they are optimized for mountain biking, their ergonomic fit makes them suitable for road cycling, though they are looser than traditional skin-tight lycra kits.
Do these shorts come with a chamois pad?
No, these are shell shorts. We recommend wearing them over a pair of padded cycling liners or bib shorts.
What does the UPF 50+ rating mean?
It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent sun protection.
How should I clean the abrasion-resistant panels?
Regular washing with mild detergent is sufficient; avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the technical coating.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners; air dry the shorts rather than using a high-heat tumble cycle.
Pocket zip sticking
Check for debris or dirt in the zip teeth; clean with a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught in the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure the shorts are sized correctly using the waist measurements to take advantage of the contoured Ride Fit. To maintain the integrity of the water-repellent coating and abrasion-resistant panels, machine wash the shorts in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical performance of the fabric. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and longevity of the synthetic materials. These shorts feature a standard zip fly and secure clasp opening for a reliable fit throughout your ride.
