FAQs
What activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for light to moderate intensity workouts like yoga, Pilates, weightlifting, casual cycling, and general athleisure wear. They offer comfort and support for everyday activities.
How should I wash my Miso High Waisted Cycling Shorts?
They are machine washable. We recommend washing on a gentle cycle with cold or warm water and a mild detergent. Air drying is best to maintain fabric quality, or tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Do these shorts provide compression?
These shorts offer a comfortable, supportive fit due to the high waist and elastane content, but they are not designed to provide significant athletic compression like specialized performance wear.
Is the material breathable for workouts?
Yes, the high cotton content makes them breathable for general comfort and moderate activities. However, for intense, high-sweat workouts, cotton may retain moisture more than synthetic, moisture-wicking fabrics.
Are other colors and sizes available?
Yes, Miso High Waisted Cycling Shorts are available in various colors and sizes. This particular guide is for the black variant in UK size 18, but you can check other product listings for more options.
What is the material composition of these shorts?
The shorts are made from a blend of 95% Cotton and 5% Elastane, providing a balance of softness, breathability, and stretch.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel uncomfortably tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. This specific product is a UK size 18. Consult the brand's sizing chart if available, and consider trying a different size if the fit is significantly off.
Experiencing chafing despite flat lock seams.
While flat lock seams minimize chafing, an improper fit (too tight or too loose) can still cause friction. Ensure the shorts fit smoothly without excessive stretching or bunching. Wearing seamless underwear can also help.
Material feels less breathable or damp during exercise.
The shorts are made from 95% cotton. While comfortable and breathable for many, cotton absorbs and retains moisture rather than wicking it away quickly. For very high-intensity or prolonged, sweat-heavy workouts, synthetic, moisture-wicking alternatives might be more suitable.
Fabric appears to be pilling or showing signs of wear quickly.
Pilling can occur with cotton blends, especially if subjected to friction or harsh washing. Always machine wash on a gentle cycle, preferably inside out, and avoid abrasive surfaces. Air drying can also help preserve fabric integrity.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the quality of your shorts. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
- Washing: These shorts are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold or warm water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric.
