FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, the stretch twill fabric provides the durability and flexibility required for mountain biking, though they lack specialized padding.
Can I wear these without a chamois?
Yes, they are designed as casual performance shorts. For long-distance riding, many users choose to wear a separate padded liner underneath.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the water-resistant coating is free from Perfluorinated Chemicals, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.
How do the sizing adjusters work?
The side tabs can be pulled and secured to tighten the waistband, providing a snugger fit than a standard non-adjustable waistband.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The hand pockets are designed for everyday carry items, though the rear zipped pocket is recommended for larger, flatter items like a phone to prevent movement.
Troubleshooting
Water-resistant coating seems less effective after several washes
The DWR finish may wear off over time. Use a technical DWR re-proofer spray to restore the water-repellent properties.
Waistband feels loose during long rides
Re-adjust the side waistband tabs and ensure the elasticated back is sitting flat against your lumbar region for a secure hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, utilize the side waistband adjusters to cinch the shorts to your preference. Because these shorts feature a water-resistant coating, it is essential to follow specific care instructions to maintain performance. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the water-repellent finish. Periodically re-treating the garment with a DWR-safe spray will help maintain the water-resistant properties over time.
