Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging or pilling
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces like coarse Velcro or rough trail obstacles; if snagging occurs, trim loose threads with scissors rather than pulling.
Feeling too tight during long rides
Ensure the waistband is adjusted correctly; if you are between sizes, consider sizing up to allow for base layer or protection underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Sprint MTB shorts, it is essential to follow proper maintenance routines. Because these are performance garments with specialized stretch panels, wash them in cool water on a delicate cycle to prevent fiber degradation. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can clog the laser-cut perforations and affect the material's moisture-wicking capabilities. For drying, hang-dry in the shade rather than using a high-heat machine dryer. These shorts are designed to be worn over your preferred chamois liner or impact shorts; check that your protective gear fits comfortably underneath the waistband without causing pressure points.
