Troubleshooting

Waistband slipping down during ride

Tighten the self-fabric waist adjuster tabs and ensure the internal silicone print is in direct contact with your jersey or base layer.

Shorts feel restrictive while pedaling

Adjust the waist tension for a more relaxed fit and ensure the stretch panels are not being pulled tight by an undersized fitment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability due to laser-cut ventilation
  • Highly durable nylon construction resists tears
  • Secure fit with internal silicone grippers
  • Ample movement range provided by stretch panels

Cons

  • Designed primarily for MTB use, may feel specialized for casual wear
  • Limited to a black colorway
  • Requires proper care to maintain moisture-wicking properties

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, utilize the self-fabric waist adjustment tabs before mounting the bike; the shorts should be snug enough to stay in place without restricting your core breathing. Because of the silicone print on the inner waistband, these shorts pair best with cycling-specific base layers or jersey tuck-ins. For care, always machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the laser-cut perforations and the silicone grip. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores in the nylon fabric, reducing the shorts' ability to breathe. Air drying is highly recommended to extend the lifespan of the hardware and fabric elasticity.
