FAQs
Are these shorts padded for cycling?
No, these are shell shorts designed for flexibility and can be worn over padded cycling liners if extra comfort is needed.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and heavy fabric softeners.
What does PFC-free DWR mean?
It means the Durable Water Repellent coating is free of perfluorinated chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The zip pockets are designed for smaller essentials like keys, cards, or energy gels. Large smartphones may not fit comfortably.
Do these shorts run true to size?
They are designed to follow standard UK dress sizing, but because they have a performance fit, ensure you check your measurements against the sizing chart provided.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels loose during rides
Tighten the integrated web belt buckle to lock the waistband in a higher position before you begin your ride.
DWR finish is no longer repelling water
The fabric may have residue buildup. Wash with a technical gear cleaner and consider reapplying a DWR spray treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the integrated web belt while standing to ensure the waistband sits comfortably without restricting your breath. Because these shorts feature a performance fit, ensure you refer to the sizing guide to match your specific UK dress size (e.g., size 12).
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle to maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the DWR water-repellent coating.
- Hang dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the technical fibers.
- If the water-repellency fades over time, a technical re-proofing spray can be applied to restore the finish.
