FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for running?
Yes, the high-compression material and anti-chafe seams make them very effective for running and high-intensity interval training.
Do these shorts have a pocket for a phone?
They include a hidden inner waistband pocket and side openings, but these are generally sized for smaller items like keys or cards, not large smartphones.
How should I wash these shorts?
Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Is the fabric thick enough to be squat-proof?
Yes, they feature over 99% opacity, making them highly reliable for activities involving deep bends or squats.
What does 'flat-locked seams' mean?
Flat-locked seams are stitched in a way that the raw edges of the fabric are tucked away, creating a smooth finish that prevents skin irritation.
Troubleshooting
Waistband rolling down during activity
Ensure you are wearing the correct size; if the shorts are too large, the elastic will not grip correctly. Avoid using fabric softeners that can make the fabric slippery.
Fabric irritation or chafing
Check that the flat-locked seams are aligned correctly against your skin. Ensure the shorts are pulled up fully and smoothed out before starting your activity.
Shorts feel damp after short use
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers over or under the shorts. The fabric performs best when moisture has space to evaporate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are a technical performance garment, proper care is essential to maintain the elasticity and compression features. Always wash in cool water on a gentle cycle, and avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking capabilities of the polyester blend. Hang-drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape of the fibers and prevent heat damage to the elasticized waistband. The shorts are designed for a UK size 8; ensure you check your measurements against the brand's size chart to ensure the high-compression fit works for your specific body type.
