FAQs

What does 'Dri-FIT' mean?

Dri-FIT is Nike's proprietary technology designed to wick sweat away from the body to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate, helping you stay dry and comfortable during physical activity.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided, which includes waist measurements in inches for each size (S-2XL). It is generally recommended to order your usual size as the fit is designed to be true to size.

Can I wear these shorts for sports other than running?

While optimized for running, they can be used for other athletic activities. However, their specific cut and features are best suited for the range of motion required in running.

Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?

The zipped back pocket is designed to fit most phones and includes a moisture barrier. The side zip pockets are suitable for smaller essentials like keys or cards.

How should I care for the shorts to maintain their performance?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's integrity and features like Dri-FIT and reflective details.

What is the purpose of the brief liner?

The ergonomic brief liner provides a soft, supportive, and secure inner layer that enhances comfort, reduces chafing, and offers coverage during movement.

Can the waistband drawcord be hidden?

Yes, the narrow waistband with a drawcord can be worn internally or externally, allowing you to adjust the fit and choose whether the drawcord is visible or hidden.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the internal or external drawcord on the waistband for a more secure fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consult the size chart and consider exchanging for a different size.

Zipper sticking or difficult to operate

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Dri-FIT technology not wicking sweat effectively

Ensure the shorts are washed according to care instructions, using mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can clog the fabric's pores. Check that the fabric isn't excessively worn out, which can reduce its effectiveness over time.

Reflective details peeling or wearing off

This can occur with excessive washing or drying. Avoid high heat drying and ironing. If peeling is minor, it may not affect functionality significantly. For significant damage, professional repair might be needed, but typically replacement is the solution.
