FAQs
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
These are 5-inch brief-lined shorts.
How do I know if I need a size larger than XL?
The XL size is designed for waist sizes between 38 and 43 inches. If your waist measurement falls outside this range or you prefer a looser fit, consider checking the sizing for XXL or consulting a size chart.
Can I store my keys in the back pocket?
Yes, the back zipped pocket can fit most phones and includes an internal moisture barrier. It is also suitable for keys, but ensure the zipper is fully closed for security.
How do I wash these running shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry on low. Remove promptly and iron on low heat if necessary. Do not dry clean.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive racing?
These shorts are designed for regular running sessions and offer a streamlined profile with minimal bulk, making them suitable for many runners. For elite racing, some athletes might prefer even lighter, more specialized racing shorts.
What does 'Dri-FIT' technology do?
Dri-FIT is Nike's technology designed to wick sweat away from your skin to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, helping you stay dry and comfortable.
Can the drawcord be removed or hidden?
The drawcord for the narrow waistband can be worn internally or externally, allowing for an adjustable fit that suits your preference.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the drawcord. Tighten it for a more secure fit or loosen it if it feels constrictive. Ensure the drawcord is threaded correctly through the narrow waistband.
Pockets do not feel secure for items.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. For the back pocket, confirm the phone is placed within the internal moisture barrier for added protection.
Shorts feel warm during intense runs.
Ensure the breathable panels are not obstructed. For very hot conditions, consider lighter-weight apparel options, though these shorts are designed for moderate temperatures.
Material feels slightly restrictive.
Verify you have the correct size. If the fit is tight, consider sizing up. The blend of polyester and spandex is designed for a snug, performance fit.
