FAQs
What activities are these cycling shorts suitable for?
These shorts are highly versatile. They are perfect for gym workouts, yoga, pilates, casual cycling, and everyday athleisure wear. Their comfort and flexible design make them suitable for a wide range of low to moderate intensity activities.
Are these shorts suitable for long-distance cycling?
While comfortable for casual cycling, these shorts do not feature an integrated chamois (padding). For long-distance or intense cycling, you might prefer shorts with built-in padding or wear these over a separate padded cycling liner for added comfort.
What is the material composition of the shorts?
The Miso High Waisted Cycling Shorts are made from a blend of 95% Cotton and 5% Elastane, offering a soft feel with comfortable stretch.
How should I wash and care for my shorts?
They are machine washable. For best results, wash with similar colors on a cold, gentle cycle. It's recommended to tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to air dry to preserve the fabric and elasticity. Keep them away from fire.
Do these shorts run true to size?
> Info needed: Size guidance based on fit testing. Generally, Miso products aim for standard sizing. Please refer to the specific size guide if available to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these shorts for swimming?
No, these shorts are made from a cotton blend, which is not suitable for swimwear. Cotton absorbs water and dries slowly, making them uncomfortable and heavy in water. They are designed for land-based activities.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel uncomfortable or cause chafing during activity.
Ensure you have the correct size for your body. The flat lock seams are designed to minimize chafing, so check that the seams are not twisted and are lying flat against your skin. For very intense or long activities, consider wearing seamless underwear.
Fabric appears to be pilling or wearing out quickly.
Pilling can occur with cotton blends due to friction. To minimize this, always wash the shorts inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid washing with rougher fabrics like denim or items with zippers that could cause friction. Air drying rather than tumble drying can also help.
Shorts lose their shape or stretch out after wearing/washing.
The 5% Elastane helps retain shape, but proper care is crucial. Always follow the washing instructions: machine wash cold, gentle cycle, and either air dry flat or tumble dry on very low heat. Avoid high heat drying as it can degrade elastane over time.
