FAQs
What is the inseam length of the Flexair Ascent Short?
The inseam is 10 inches for the outer short and 9.75 inches for the removable liner short.
How do I clean the shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors, using mild detergent. Hang to dry. Do not bleach, use fabric softener, or iron.
Can I wear these shorts without the liner?
Yes, the shorts are designed with a removable liner. You can wear them with or without the liner based on your preference for comfort and chamois support.
What makes the mesh body material 'dissolvable'?
The 'dissolvable' aspect refers to a highly specialized, extremely lightweight, and ventilated material that is engineered for peak performance. Follow care instructions to maintain its integrity.
Is the chamois suitable for long-distance riding?
The shorts include a dual-density COMP chamois, designed for maximum comfort, making them suitable for extended periods in the saddle.
What is the purpose of the Race Ratchet closure?
The Race Ratchet closure is a system that provides a secure fit and allows for quick, on-the-fly adjustments to the waistband without needing to stop.
Are these shorts waterproof?
These shorts are designed for ventilation and moisture-wicking, not for waterproofing. They will not keep you dry in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or loose
Adjust the Race Ratchet closure system for a customized fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different waist size.
Chafing around the waistband or leg openings
Ensure the bonded waist panel and leg openings are sitting smoothly against the skin. Double-check the fit adjustment via the Race Ratchet. Ensure the liner short is properly aligned.
Zipper on the pocket is difficult to operate
Gently clean the zipper track with a soft brush. Avoid forcing the zipper. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Reduced ventilation after washing
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions, specifically avoiding fabric softeners which can impede material performance. Allow to air dry completely.
