FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
While designed for general cycling, the features like the dual-layer foam insert are suitable for any long-distance ride where comfort and vibration damping are required.
Do these shorts provide protection from the sun?
Yes, they feature built-in UV protection rated at 50+ to help shield your skin during extended exposure.
How long should I expect the padding to last?
With proper care—specifically avoiding heavy detergents and tumble drying—the foam insert is designed to maintain its shape and cushioning properties through high-frequency usage.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash them on a cool setting. Always avoid fabric softeners to protect the performance fabric tech.
What is the primary benefit of the 'Ride Fit' design?
The Ride Fit is an aerodynamic, contoured cut that reduces bulk and minimizes wind resistance while ensuring the shorts stay in place during intense pedaling.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long rides
Ensure the shorts are positioned correctly and that the saddle height and tilt are adjusted properly to match your riding style.
Fabric irritation or chafing
Check that the shorts are the correct size and consider using an anti-chafing cream specifically designed for cycling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the shorts are pulled snug against the skin to allow the moisture-wicking fabric to function correctly. To preserve the longevity of your Prompt II shorts:
- Machine wash cold with mild detergent.
- Do not use fabric softeners, as they can clog the moisture-wicking fibers of the Coolmax fabric.
- Air dry by hanging in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
- Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or hook-and-loop fasteners to prevent fabric pulling.
