Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be wearing off

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dare 2b Descent shorts, follow these guidelines. When putting them on, ensure the waist clasp is secured firmly for a stable fit during high-intensity movement. Because the shorts are PFAS compliant, they are safe for standard care, but avoid using harsh fabric softeners which can compromise the water-repellent finish. Machine wash on a cool setting and air dry to maintain the integrity of the technical fabrics. The offset inseam is compatible with most standard cycling saddles and liners.
