FAQs

What material are these shorts made from?

These shorts are made from 100% cotton, offering breathability and a soft feel.

Are these shorts suitable for matches or just training?

They are designed for both training sessions and matches, providing comfort and durability for active play.

How should I wash these shorts to ensure they last?

Machine wash them cold or warm with similar colors. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain fabric quality. Avoid bleach.

Do these shorts have pockets?

Info needed: Details regarding pockets are not provided in the product description. Typically, rugby training shorts may not include pockets to prevent interference during play, but this is not confirmed.

What age group are these shorts for?

These are 'Junior' or 'Kids' shorts, specifically for the 1-2 age group based on the product variant, though other junior sizes may be available.

Will these shorts dry quickly after getting wet?

As they are 100% cotton, they may take longer to dry compared to shorts made from synthetic, moisture-wicking materials. This is a common characteristic of cotton fabric.

Are other colors available?

Yes, KooGa Junior Rugby Training Shorts are also available in Blue. Please check for other product listings for different color options.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose.

Verify the correct size was purchased. Refer to the KooGa sizing chart if available, as sizes can vary. An elasticated waistband offers some flexibility, but an ill-fitting base size can cause discomfort.

Fabric feels stiff or rough after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and consider adding fabric softener to the wash cycle. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry completely, as over-drying can make cotton feel stiff.

Shorts appear to have shrunk after washing.

Cotton can shrink if washed in hot water or tumble dried on high heat. Always wash in cold or warm water and tumble dry on a low setting or air dry to minimize shrinkage.

Stains are difficult to remove after training.

Pre-treat stains as soon as possible before washing. Use a suitable stain remover according to product directions, then machine wash as usual. For mud stains, allow mud to dry and brush off excess before washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care

To maintain the quality and longevity of your KooGa Junior Rugby Training Shorts, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold or warm with similar colors. Avoid hot water to prevent potential shrinking.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  3. Bleach: Do not bleach, as this can damage the cotton fibers and color.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Air drying is recommended to further extend the life of the fabric and prevent excessive shrinkage.
  5. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Do not iron directly over any logos or prints.
