FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?
Yes, the polyester fabric is lightweight, making it suitable for warm conditions, though breathability may vary based on intensity.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic components and the structure of the synthetic fabric.
What is the primary function of the 2-in-1 design?
The primary function is to provide extra coverage and reduce skin-on-skin friction or chafing while running or exercising.
How do I choose the right size?
The shorts are sized by standard UK dress sizes. Refer to your typical dress size and ensure the waistband sits comfortably at your natural waist.
Is the side pocket large enough for a smartphone?
The side pocket is designed for small essentials like keys, coins, or a card. It is likely too small for modern, larger smartphones.
Troubleshooting
Inner lining riding up during exercise
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly at the waist; sometimes a snugger fit or adjusting the placement of the waistband helps stabilize the liner.
Fabric snagging or pilling
Avoid washing with garments that have zippers, hooks, or velcro; using a mesh laundry bag can provide extra protection during the spin cycle.
Loss of elasticity in the waistband
Check your wash temperature; high temperatures will destroy the synthetic fibers. Always stick to the recommended 30°C setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your LA Gear shorts, always follow the care label instructions. Machine wash your garment at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Avoid the use of harsh bleaches or heavy-duty fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elasticity of the polyester blend over time. For best results, air dry the shorts away from direct high-heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can compromise the fit and shape of the ruched waistband and inner lining.
