Full details
The Castore Adapt Training 5-Inch Shorts are designed for active adult males seeking performance apparel that adapts to various conditions. Featuring ProTek water-repellent technology, they offer comfort and protection against light moisture during training. A potential drawback is that while water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may still result in dampness.

What material are the shorts made from?

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and consider if the 5-inch inseam meets your comfort needs for movement.
Water repellency decreasing after washing
Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for activewear after washing according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impair water repellency.
Zipper on pockets is difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap or wax. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.
