FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
While designed for road cycling, the comfort features work well for any cycling discipline; however, the Lycra is susceptible to tears if snagged on trail brush.
Can I use these for indoor trainer sessions?
Yes, they are highly effective for indoor use due to the moisture-wicking fabric that helps manage sweat accumulation.
What is the best way to clean the gel pad?
Machine wash on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent and air dry to maintain the gel density.
Is the waistband high-rise or low-rise?
The 4cm waistband is designed for a secure mid-rise fit that provides stability without digging into the abdomen.
Does the D8 chamois wear out quickly?
With proper care—specifically avoiding tumble drying—the D8 pad is engineered to retain its cushioning properties for several seasons of regular use.
Troubleshooting
Chamois feels misaligned during the ride
Ensure you are pulling the shorts up fully and centering the pad before beginning your ride; consider applying anti-chafing cream for extra stability.
Shorts legs are sliding upward
Check that the SG-12 grippers are clean of sweat and residue; wipe them with a damp cloth if they lose their grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your F-Pro II shorts, avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the Lycra and damage the gel integrity. Always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang dry in the shade to prevent heat damage to the elastic fibers. For the best fit, pull the shorts on carefully, ensuring the chamois is centered against your sit bones before adjusting the SG-12 grippers around the mid-thigh. These shorts are designed as unisex apparel and are compatible with all standard road saddles.
