FAQs

What size should I order?

Refer to the Nike sizing chart provided with the product listing. It's recommended to measure your waist and compare it to the chart. Many users find ordering one size up provides a more comfortable fit.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the material is quick-drying, these shorts are designed primarily for athletic training and not specifically for swimming. They lack the specific features and support of swimwear.

How do I clean the shorts?

The shorts are machine washable. Use a cold wash cycle with like colors and a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

These shorts are lightweight and designed for breathability, making them best suited for moderate to warm conditions or indoor training. For cold weather, layering with thermal wear is recommended.

What is the material of the shorts?

The shorts are made from 100% polyester.

Do the pockets have zippers?

Yes, the shorts feature zippered pockets for secure storage.

How do I adjust the fit?

The shorts have an elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawcord that can be tightened or loosened to achieve the desired fit.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or loose

Adjust the drawcord for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consult the size chart and consider exchanging for a different size.

Fabric feels damp after intense workout

This is normal function of Dri-FIT. The fabric wicks sweat away from the skin. Ensure the garment is washed and dried properly to restore its moisture-wicking properties.

Zipper on pocket is difficult to use

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, contact customer support.
