What does 'Slim Fit' mean for these shorts?

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight

Adjust the drawcord on the elastic waistband for a looser fit. If the slim fit is fundamentally uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size or style if available.

Sweat not wicking effectively

Ensure the garment is not oversaturated with sweat. Wash the shorts to remove any residue that might be hindering the fabric's performance. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog the fabric's pores.

Mesh panels feel abrasive

This is uncommon. Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. The mesh is designed for breathability and should not cause irritation.
