FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense workouts or long-distance cycling?
These shorts are designed for comfort in casual wear and light activities such as walking, yoga, or short, leisurely bike rides. They do not feature the specialized padding or moisture-wicking properties typically required for intense workouts or long-distance cycling.
How do I choose the correct size?
The Miso High Waisted Cycling Shorts are available in standard UK women's dress sizes. We recommend selecting your usual dress size. The elasticated waistband offers flexibility for a comfortable fit.
What is the material composition of these shorts?
These shorts are made from a blend of 95% Cotton and 5% Elastane. This combination provides a soft, breathable feel with a comfortable amount of stretch for ease of movement.
Can these shorts be worn for swimming?
No, these shorts are not designed for swimwear. The high cotton content means they will absorb water, becoming heavy and uncomfortable when wet, and they may take a long time to dry.
How should I care for my Miso Cycling Shorts to ensure longevity?
To maintain the quality and extend the life of your shorts, machine wash them in cold water with similar colors. Tumble dry on a low setting or, ideally, line dry. Avoid using bleach and keep them away from direct heat or fire.
Will these shorts show through or be transparent?
The fabric blend is designed for opacity during normal wear. However, like most clothing, stretching the fabric excessively, especially when wet, might reduce its opacity. Choosing the correct size will help ensure optimal coverage.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or uncomfortable around the waist or thighs.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elasticated waistband should provide a snug fit without digging into your skin. If discomfort persists, consider trying a size up for a more relaxed fit.
Experiencing chafing despite the flat lock seams.
While flat lock seams are designed to prevent chafing, individual body shapes and activity types can still cause friction. Ensure the shorts fit correctly – not too loose, which can cause fabric bunching, or too tight, which can increase pressure points. For longer duration activities, consider using an anti-chafing balm.
Fabric appears stretched out or has lost its shape after washing.
Always follow the machine washing and drying instructions carefully. Washing in excessively hot water or high heat drying can degrade the elastane fibers. Wash in cold water and line dry or tumble dry on a very low setting to preserve the fabric's elasticity and shape.
Color fading after multiple washes.
To maintain color vibrancy, wash the shorts inside out in cold water with a color-safe detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh stain removers. Air drying can also help prevent color fade compared to machine drying.
