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.

What is the primary material of the shorts?

The main material is a bi-elastic fabric composed of 87% Polyamide and 13% Elastane, offering durability and stretch.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to standard women's UK dress sizing. The adjustable waist tabs offer some flexibility, but consult size charts if available for precise measurements.

Can I wear padded shorts underneath?

Yes, the baggy fit is designed to accommodate padded cycling shorts comfortably underneath for added support during longer rides.

How effective is the sun protection?

The fabric offers Total Sun Protection with a UPF rating of 50+, significantly blocking harmful UV rays.

Are the shorts waterproof?

These shorts are not waterproof but are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, making them ideal for warm weather and intense activity.

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.

The cargo pockets are designed for easy access. For larger items, consider a hydration pack or saddlebag. Ensure zippers are fully open when accessing the back pocket.

Care Instructions:
