FAQs
Can I use these for indoor spinning classes?

Are the seams abrasive?
No, they use flat-locked seams specifically designed to prevent friction and chafing.
What is the primary material?

Troubleshooting
Chafing during long rides
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly so the insert sits directly under your sit bones, and apply a chamois cream if necessary.
Fabric holding moisture
Check if you have used fabric softener, which inhibits wicking. Re-wash without softeners or additives.
Reflective prints losing visibility
Wash the garment inside out to prevent the reflective material from rubbing against other clothes or the drum of the machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, the shorts should be worn directly against the skin without undergarments to allow the wicking fabric to function correctly. To maintain the integrity of the foam insert and the moisture-wicking technology, wash the shorts in cold water on a delicate cycle using a mild sports-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the technical fabric and reduce breathability. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to prevent the elasticized materials from degrading.
