FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for long-distance road cycling?
No, these are designed as multi-sport fitness shorts and do not contain the padded chamois necessary for long-distance cycling comfort.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The side slip pocket is designed for easy access items, while the back zip pocket is ideal for small valuables like keys or cards. Most modern smartphones may be too large for these specific pockets.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is highly recommended to air dry them. Tumble drying can break down the elastic fibers over time.
What is the inseam length?
These shorts feature a 6-inch inseam, providing a balance of coverage and mobility.
Do these shorts provide compression?
They feature a supportive fit that holds you in, but they are designed for comfort and mobility rather than medical-grade compression.
Troubleshooting
Waistband sliding down during exercise
Adjust the internal drawcord for a tighter, more secure fit around your waist.
Fabric feels damp after a workout
Ensure you are not using fabric conditioner, which can block the sweat-wicking technical pores of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Sweaty Betty Power Shorts maintain their elasticity and performance:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature (usually 30 degrees Celsius) with like colors.
- Drying: Avoid using a tumble dryer, as the high heat can damage the technical fibers and the elasticity of the waistband. Air dry flat to preserve shape.
- Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softener, as it can coat the fibers and interfere with the sweat-wicking properties of the material.
- Storage: Fold the shorts rather than hanging them to prevent the waistband from stretching over time.
