What is the benefit of the mesh panels?

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the internal drawcord to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. If the waistband is consistently too loose or tight regardless of adjustment, consider trying a different size.

Sweat is not wicking effectively

Ensure the shorts are not overloaded with fabric softener, which can clog the fibers. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Check that the mesh panels are not obstructed.

Zipper on pockets is difficult to use

Gently try to clear any fabric or debris from the zipper track. If the issue persists, use a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant on the zipper teeth.
