FAQs
Are these shorts waterproof?
The rear panels are 3-layer seam-taped and waterproof, while the front is optimized for insulation and wind resistance.
Can I wear these without a liner?
Yes, they can be worn over other base layers or on their own, though they are designed to interface best with ClickFast™ liners.
How do the leg vents work?
The leg vents use 2-way zippers, allowing you to open them from either direction to customize the amount of airflow.
Will these keep me warm in freezing temperatures?
Yes, the PrimaLoft® GOLD insulation is specifically engineered to provide warmth in cold, winter conditions.
How should I store these shorts?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ensuring they are completely dry to prevent mildew.
Troubleshooting
Ventilation zippers feel stiff
Clear any mud or debris from the zipper tracks using a soft brush and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant.
Waistband sliding down during ride
Ensure the internal adjustment straps are fully secured and use a belt through the integrated loops for a more rigid fit.
Waterproofing appears less effective
The outer fabric may need a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) refresh; apply a technical DWR spray after a thorough wash.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, utilize the internal waistband adjustments before attaching a liner. For saddle comfort, snap your chosen Endura ClickFast™ liner into the interior loops of the short to ensure the padding remains secure. When washing, treat these as technical outerwear: close all zippers, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical fabric cleaner, and avoid using fabric softeners to maintain the integrity of the water-resistant coatings. Air dry whenever possible to preserve the longevity of the insulation and waterproof membranes.
