FAQs
Can I wear these as regular shorts?
No, these are designed specifically as undershorts and are intended to be worn under outer layers.
Are these suitable for long-distance rides?
Yes, the memory foam insert is designed to provide sufficient support for extended time in the saddle.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts are unisex; refer to standard sizing guides and prioritize a snug, fitted feel for the best performance.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended to tumble dry, as the heat can damage the memory foam insert and the bonded leg hems.
Do I wear underwear under these?
It is recommended to wear these directly against the skin for the best moisture management and to prevent friction.
Troubleshooting
Shorts riding up during a ride
Ensure the bonded hem is flat against your skin and you are not wearing loose-fitting undergarments underneath.
Pad feels misaligned
Pull the waistband up higher to ensure the memory foam insert sits directly under your sit-bones.
Fabric irritation
Ensure the garment is turned right-side out and that no seams are twisted before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal comfort, ensure the undershorts are pulled up snugly against the skin so the memory foam insert aligns correctly with your pelvic contact points. They are fully compatible with any standard pair of shorts or trousers, though wearing them under slim-fit jeans may cause slight bulk. To care for your Altura Tempo Undershorts: wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius, avoid using fabric softeners which can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester, and always air dry to maintain the integrity of the memory foam pad.
