Visible moisture build-up
Check that the shorts are not being worn under non-breathable layers that may trap sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the garment, wash the shorts in cold water on a gentle cycle, preferably using a mesh laundry bag. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the elastic fibers and the 3D pad. When putting them on, ensure the silicone grippers are positioned directly against the skin for the best grip. These shorts are compatible with standard cycling jerseys and can be layered under looser mountain bike shorts if preferred for a casual aesthetic.
