FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for road cycling?

Can I wear these with bulky knee pads?
Yes, the relaxed cut is specifically designed to fit over most standard mountain bike knee pads.
How should I choose the right size?
These shorts feature a relaxed fit. If you prefer a tighter or more streamlined feel, you may want to consider sizing down from your usual choice.
Is the fabric breathable?
Yes, the fabric is constructed to balance weather resistance with necessary breathability for high-exertion trail riding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Altura Esker Trail MTB Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-biological detergent to preserve the water-resistant treatment.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid tumble drying, as this can degrade the protective finish.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads off the surface after extensive use, consider applying a garment-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing them to prevent mildew buildup.
