How should I wash the padded liner?
It is best to hand wash the liner or use a delicate machine cycle inside a protective laundry bag.

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too loose while riding
Adjust the internal waist sizing tabs to achieve a secure fit before setting off.
Padded liner moves around during the ride
Ensure the liner is properly snapped or buttoned into the attachment points within the waistband.
Reflective print appears dull
Clean the surface with a damp cloth; dirt buildup can often hide reflective properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm the fit around the waist using the integrated adjusters. When washing, it is highly recommended to remove the padded liner first. Wash the outer shorts with like colors on a gentle cycle. For the liner, hand wash or use a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag to maintain the integrity of the foam padding. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fabric. Hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to preserve the reflective materials.
