FAQs

What is the inseam length for Size 8?

The inseam length provided is for a Size Medium (26cm/10 inches). This measurement will vary slightly for other sizes, including Size 8.

Can I wear the shorts without the liner?

Yes, the Clickfast™ liner is detachable, allowing you to wear the outer shorts on their own or with a different padded liner if preferred.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Endura Women's Sizing chart provided. For Size 8, your waist measurement should be between 73-78cm.

Are these shorts waterproof?

The shorts feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which helps to repel light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof.

How should I wash the shorts?

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry. Close all zippers before washing.

What is the weight of the shorts?

The guidance weight for a Size Medium is 480g. This weight will vary slightly depending on the size.

Can the cargo pockets be zipped closed?

The product description mentions two zipped hand pockets and two large rear map pockets. It also lists two cargo pockets, which may or may not be zipped, depending on the specific design iteration.

Troubleshooting

Liner does not attach securely

Ensure the snap-fasteners on both the outer shorts and the liner are clean and free of debris. Align them precisely and apply firm pressure. Check that you are using an Endura Clickfast™ compatible liner.

Chafing or discomfort from the pad

Ensure the liner is positioned correctly and is the right way around. Try adjusting the fit of the outer shorts using the waistband and belt. For very long rides, consider using chamois cream.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Shorts feel too warm

Open the zip thigh vents to improve airflow. If the conditions are extremely hot, consider detaching the liner or opting for a lighter pair of shorts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The shorts come with a Clickfast™ detachable liner. To attach the liner, align the snap-fasteners on the liner with the corresponding points inside the outer shorts and press firmly until they click into place. Ensure the liner is correctly oriented for comfort.

Compatibility: The Clickfast™ system is proprietary to Endura and is designed to work with other Endura Clickfast™ compatible shorts and liners. The Size 8 fits a UK dress size 8 and corresponds to a waist measurement of 73-78cm.

Care: To maintain the shorts' performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners.
  2. Drying: Hang dry. Do not tumble dry or expose to direct heat.
  3. Zipper Care: Close all zippers before washing to prevent damage.
  4. Liner Care: The liner can be washed separately or attached. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.
  5. Water Repellency: The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication over time. Use a suitable re-proofer after washing if water no longer beads on the surface.
