FAQs
How many hours of riding are these shorts suitable for?

Do these shorts provide protection against the sun?

Should I wear underwear under these shorts?
No, it is recommended to wear these shorts against the skin to benefit from the moisture-wicking and anti-chafing properties of the insert.
What is the best way to clean these cycling shorts?
Machine wash on a cool, delicate cycle without fabric softener and hang them to air dry.

Yes, they feature integrated reflective print details to improve your visibility on the road.
What is 'Ride Fit Pro' design?

Troubleshooting
Visible friction or chafing during rides
Ensure the shorts fit snugly and consider using a cycling-specific anti-chafe cream on your skin.
Chamois feels damp too quickly
Check your wash cycle; ensure no fabric softener was used, as it blocks the pores of the wicking fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best experience, ensure the shorts are worn without additional underwear, as the chamois insert is designed to be in direct contact with the skin. After your ride, rinse the shorts to remove salts and oils. When washing, always use a delicate cycle in cool water and avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking technology and the integrity of the foam insert. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the elasticity of the fabric and the shape of the padding.
