FAQs
What material are these shorts made from?
These shorts are made from 100% high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and sweat-wicking properties.
Are these shorts suitable for sports other than soccer?
Yes, their lightweight and breathable design makes them excellent for various athletic activities, including running, gym class, or general sports training.
How should I choose the right size?
These are in a regular fit. You should follow standard sizing based on the child's waist and hip measurements, utilizing the internal drawcord to fine-tune the fit.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these?
It is not recommended, as fabric softeners can leave a coating on the synthetic fibers that interferes with the Dri-FIT moisture-wicking technology.
Does the waistband lose elasticity over time?
The elastic waistband is designed for long-term athletic use, but avoiding high-heat drying cycles will significantly help maintain its shape and tension.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is stuck or difficult to pull
Ensure the cord is not twisted inside the waistband casing; gently untangle the fabric around the exit hole.
Shorts feel damp after intense use
Ensure the shorts are not being layered under heavy non-breathable gear; the Dri-FIT tech needs airflow to evaporate sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts maintain their performance capabilities, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors to prevent dye transfer.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners that can clog the moisture-wicking properties of the Dri-FIT material.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the elasticity of the waistband. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew build-up in gym bags.
