Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's sizing guide. If it's a new pair, the compressive fabric may require a short break-in period.
Fabric is not as breathable as expected
Confirm that the care instructions have been followed, particularly regarding the avoidance of fabric softeners which can impede breathability. Ensure the garment is clean and free of sweat residue.
Hidden pocket feels insecure for items
The pocket is designed for small, lightweight items like keys or a single card. For larger or heavier items, consider a running belt or a different style of shorts with more robust pocket options.
