Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or loose
Adjust the internal drawcord for a more secure and comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Fabric not wicking sweat effectively
Ensure the shorts are washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners which can impede moisture-wicking properties. Check that the DriFIT technology hasn't been degraded by excessive heat during drying.
