FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense outdoor cycling?
They are designed for medium support and comfort, making them excellent for casual cycling and indoor training, though they lack the specialized gel padding found in professional cycling bibs.
Is the silk lining durable?
Yes, the triple-layer construction includes a durable exterior designed to protect the silk lining while maintaining its integrity through standard athletic use.
Can I wear these for swimming?
No, these shorts are not intended for use in chlorinated pools or saltwater, as these conditions can damage the silk fibers.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts are form-fitting. We recommend selecting your standard size, but if you prefer a less compressed feel, you may consider sizing up.
What is the primary benefit of the silk lining?
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic, breathable, and temperature-regulating, which helps keep your skin cool and dry compared to synthetic linings.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel loose after multiple wears
Hand wash the garment in cold water and lay flat to dry to allow the fibers to regain their natural shape and elasticity.
Visible wrinkles in the fabric
Gently steam the garment on a low-heat setting or allow it to hang in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes; never use a high-heat iron directly on the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your SilkContour Cycling Shorts, proper maintenance is essential. Because of the inclusion of natural silk, avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild, silk-friendly detergent. If machine washing is necessary, use a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle.
- Drying: Never tumble dry. Lay the shorts flat on a clean towel and roll it to absorb excess moisture, then let them air dry away from direct sunlight.
- Storage: Fold the shorts carefully to prevent deep creases, as silk can wrinkle more easily than synthetic fibers. Avoid hanging by the waistband for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the elastic.
