FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for casual wear?
While designed for cycling, their comfortable fit and casual style make them suitable for light outdoor activities beyond biking.

Can I wear padded shorts underneath?

How should I clean the shorts to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too loose or too tight at the waist.
Adjust the Velcro side-adjuster tabs for a personalized fit. Ensure they are snug but not constricting.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you have avoided using fabric softeners. Try re-washing with a small amount of mild detergent and air-drying.
Reflective details are peeling.
Avoid high heat during drying and do not iron directly on the reflective elements. Gentle washing and air drying are recommended.
Pockets feel restrictive.
