FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very long rides (e.g., century rides)?
Yes, the padded cushioning is specifically designed to provide comfort and reduce pressure during extended periods of cycling, making them suitable for long rides.
How do I know if I have the right size?

Can I wear these shorts without underwear?

How often should I wash my cycling shorts?
It is recommended to wash your cycling shorts after each use to maintain hygiene and preserve the fabric's antibacterial properties. Follow the care instructions carefully to ensure longevity.
What is the purpose of the antibacterial fabric?
The antibacterial fabric helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping you feeling fresh during and after your ride. It also contributes to overall hygiene.
Can I use these shorts for casual cycling or only for serious training?

Troubleshooting
Discomfort during ride
Ensure the shorts are the correct size and worn properly. Check saddle height and position, as this can also affect comfort.
Chafing despite padding
Apply a small amount of chamois cream to the padded area or directly to the skin. Ensure the shorts are clean and free of debris.
Fabric feels restrictive
