FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the material is polyester, these are designed for athletic training on land and are not specifically treated for chlorine resistance or pool use.

What does the regular fit feel like?

The regular fit is a standard athletic cut that sits comfortably on the body without being overly baggy or restrictive, providing a balanced look.

Can I put these in the dryer?

Yes, but it is recommended to use a low-heat setting to prevent potential damage to the synthetic fabric and maintain the longevity of the moisture-wicking properties.

Are there pockets on these shorts?

This model focuses on a lightweight performance design and does not feature zippered pockets.

Is the waistband comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the elasticated waistband is designed to be soft and flexible for extended periods of activity.

Troubleshooting

Drawcord is stuck or pulled inside the waistband

Use a safety pin to guide the end of the drawcord back through the opening or gently massage the fabric around the cord to shift it back into place.

Fabric feels damp after use

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during laundry, as they coat the fibers and prevent proper sweat evaporation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities due to Dri-FIT fabric
  • Enhanced ventilation through mesh side panels
  • Adjustable drawcord ensures a secure, custom fit
  • Durable, easy-care polyester fabric
  • Versatile design suitable for both sports and casual wear

Cons

  • Regular fit may be less supportive than slim-fit performance gear
  • Limited color palette options in this specific size
  • Requires careful laundering to maintain moisture-wicking properties

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shorts require no setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for your needs, utilizing the internal drawcord to adjust the waist as necessary for your comfort level.

To maintain the integrity of the garment:

  • Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors.
  • Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid high heat as it can degrade the moisture-wicking synthetic fibers.
  • Avoid: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can block the pores in the Dri-FIT fabric and inhibit its ability to pull sweat away from the body.
