FAQs
Can I wear these for mountain biking?
Yes, while designed for road cycling, the moisture-wicking and vibration-dampening features work well for any style of cycling.
Are these shorts suitable for indoor cycling?
Absolutely. The quick-dry fabric is highly effective for indoor training sessions where sweating is increased.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to standard UK women's dress sizing. The shorts are designed with a 'Ride Fit Pro' cut, meaning they offer a compressive, streamlined fit.
Do these provide protection from the sun?
Yes, the fabric is rated UPF 50+, providing significant ultraviolet shielding for your legs while riding outdoors.
How long should the padding last?
The foam insert is designed for durability; following the recommended care instructions of washing in cold water and air drying will maximize its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long rides
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly so the foam insert sits flush against your anatomy and check that the saddle height is properly adjusted.
Fabric irritation or chafing
Verify that the flat-locked seams are aligned correctly and ensure no layers are bunched up under the shorts.
Odour persistence after washing
Use a specialized sports detergent designed to remove oils and sweat from synthetic technical fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, these shorts should be worn without additional undergarments to allow the moisture-wicking fabric and padding to function as intended. When cleaning, machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the technical properties of the polyester and the density of the foam insert. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to preserve the fabric elasticity and padding shape.
