FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, the Freewheel Youth Trail Shorts are designed for versatility and are well-suited for trail riding due to their durable construction, comfortable fit, and freedom of movement.
How do I remove the padded liner?
The liner is typically attached with internal buttons or loops. Carefully detach these fasteners to remove the liner for washing or if you prefer to ride without it.
What is the inseam length for different ages?
The provided inseam length of 20cm is for Age 9/10. Inseam lengths will vary slightly for other ages and sizes. It is recommended to check specific size charts if available or to measure the child's leg.
Can these shorts be worn in very hot weather?
While breathable to an extent, they are made primarily of polyester and designed for all-day use which can include cooler conditions. For extremely hot weather, lighter-weight shorts might be more comfortable.
What is the warranty on these shorts?
The Madison Freewheel Youth Trail Shorts come with a limited lifetime warranty.
How should I clean the padded liner?
The padded liner should be washed according to its specific care label, usually machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water. It's best to air dry the liner.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight around the waist
The elasticated waist provides some give. Ensure the inner drawcord (if present) is not overly tightened. For persistent tightness, consider if the size is appropriate or if the liner adds extra bulk.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The C6 DWR coating may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel to restore water-repellency. Ensure seams are not compromised.
Liner padding feels uncomfortable
Ensure the liner is correctly positioned and the padded insert is flat. Try riding for a short period to allow the padding to conform to your shape. If discomfort persists, the liner may not be suitable for your individual fit.
Pockets are not securely holding items
Utilize the zipped pocket for items that need to be secured, such as keys or a phone. Ensure items are placed flat within the hand pockets to minimize the chance of them falling out during vigorous activity.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of the shorts:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If necessary, iron on a very low setting, avoiding any printed areas or reflective details.
- Re-proofing: The C6 DWR finish may need to be reapplied periodically to maintain water-repellency. Use a suitable re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment as per the product's instructions.
