Troubleshooting
Fabric irritation during long rides
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly and consider using a high-quality cycling chamois cream to reduce friction.
Insert shifting during movement
Verify that you are wearing the correct size; if the shorts are too loose, the chamois will not sit properly against the body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dare 2b Prompt II Cycling Shorts, it is essential to follow correct maintenance procedures. Always wash the shorts in cold water on a gentle cycle, preferably using a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric and the integrity of the foam insert. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the technical wicking properties and affect the anti-bacterial finish. Air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to prevent the elasticized materials from degrading. Before your first ride, ensure the sizing is correct; the shorts should feel firm but not restrictive when in the cycling position.
