FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are made of quick-drying material, they are designed specifically for training and lack the inner mesh liner usually required for swimwear.
Do these shorts have an internal drawstring?
The model features a fully elasticated waistband, though specific sub-variants may vary; check the interior of the waistband for an adjustable cord.
What material are the shorts made from?
They are constructed from a durable, lightweight polyester plain-weave blend.
Can I use these for outdoor running?
Yes, their lightweight, breathable design makes them excellent for outdoor running, particularly in warm weather.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Refer to the size guide for XL measurements; the elasticated waistband provides roughly 1-2 inches of flexibility.
Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?
The polyester plain-weave construction is resistant to wrinkling, making them ideal for throwing into a gym bag.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels heavy or damp during long workouts
Ensure you are not wearing the shorts over heavy cotton layers and check that you haven't used fabric softener during the last wash.
Zipper feels stiff
Clear any debris or lint from the zipper track and gently pull the slider back and forth to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts maintain their moisture-wicking capabilities and structural integrity, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors in cold water.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric performance; if using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.
- Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners as they can coat the moisture-wicking fibers, rendering the Climacool technology less effective.
- Fitment: These feature a regular fit and an elasticated waist. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred length and waist comfort, as the elastic offers some flexibility.
