FAQs
Should I wear underwear under these knickers?
No. The integrated gel pad is designed to sit directly against the skin to prevent chafing and maximize moisture wicking.
What is the 400-Series pad?
The 400-Series pad is a multi-density insert featuring antibacterial properties and gel gel components designed to maximize comfort on long rides.
Are these suitable for cold weather?
These are standard weight cycling knickers; while breathable for warmer weather, they offer limited thermal insulation for extreme cold.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The knickers should fit snugly without restricting blood flow, ensuring the pad remains correctly positioned against your body while you cycle.
Can I tumble dry the Endura Xtract knickers?
It is not recommended. Tumble drying can damage the elasticity of the nylon and the silicone grippers. Air drying is the best method to prolong product life.
Are these antibacterial?
Yes, the 400-Series gel pad includes antibacterial treatments to help maintain hygiene during long rides.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grippers slipping during the ride
Ensure the leg hem is clean and free of oils or lotions before putting on the knickers; dry skin helps the silicone grip more effectively.
Fabric feels heavy or retains sweat
Check if you have used fabric softener, which coats the fibers and prevents wicking; perform a rinse cycle or wash with a technical garment cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, the knickers should be worn directly against the skin without undergarments to allow the wicking technology and pad interface to function correctly. When caring for your Endura gear, wash in cool water on a delicate cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the moisture-wicking fibers, reducing their effectiveness over time. Always air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the nylon and the integrity of the silicone grippers.
