FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for the gym?
Yes, their lightweight construction and moisture-wicking properties make them excellent for gym workouts as well as trail running.
Do these shorts have a liner?
These shorts are designed with performance in mind; please check your specific product tag for internal liner details, as preferences can vary by season.
Can I carry a smartphone in the pockets?
The pockets are primarily designed for smaller items like energy gels or keys. Most modern smartphones may be too large for the envelope pockets.
How do I choose the right size?
These are standard fit; choose your usual size. If you prefer a looser fit for movement, you might consider sizing up, though the stretch fabric usually accommodates standard sizing well.
Can I tumble dry these shorts?
It is highly recommended to hang-dry to protect the technical fabric and bonded seams from heat damage.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels loose during activity
Ensure the external drawcord is pulled snug and tied securely before starting your exercise.
Visible wear on seams
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces like jagged rocks and ensure you are not using high-heat cycles in the dryer, which can weaken bonded adhesive.
Pocket items bouncing while running
Distribute items evenly across the four envelope pockets and place heavier or more vital items in the centered zippered pocket to balance weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, utilize the external drawcord to cinch the elastic waistband to your preferred tightness, preventing the shorts from slipping when the pockets are loaded. For care, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent. To preserve the moisture-wicking properties and the integrity of the bonded seams, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Always hang-dry your shorts away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material breakdown and keep the polyester fibers performing at their peak.
