FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for running?
Yes, their tight, stay-put design makes them excellent for running as they reduce the chance of chafing.
Do these shorts have pockets?
No, these performance shorts are designed with a streamlined silhouette and do not feature pockets.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash cold with like colors and air dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric's elasticity.
Are they true to size?
They are designed to be compressive. If you are between sizes or prefer a less restrictive fit, you may consider sizing up.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While the materials are synthetic, these are designed for gym and training environments, not for chlorinated pool use.
What is the primary material?
These shorts are crafted from high-performance polyester blends designed for breathability and moisture management.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too tight during exercise
Ensure the waistband is pulled up to your natural waist rather than resting on the hips to allow for better anatomical placement.
Fabric feels damp after long workouts
Ensure you are wearing these as a base layer or as a standalone piece without heavy, non-breathable outer layers that may trap heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts do not require any specialized setup; simply pull them on and adjust the waistband for a secure fit. To ensure the longevity of the moisture-wicking properties and the elasticity of the fabric:
- Machine Wash: Use a cold cycle to prevent heat damage to the synthetic fibers.
- Avoid Bleach: Chemical additives can degrade the stretch recovery and sweat-wicking technology.
- Air Dry: Whenever possible, hang-dry your shorts. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent elastic breakdown.
- Compatibility: These are intended as a high-performance training piece. They pair well with Nike Pro tanks or loose-fit training tees depending on your preferred look.
