FAQs
What activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for a variety of fitness activities including gym workouts, yoga, Pilates, cycling, and general home exercise routines, thanks to their optimal support and sweat-wicking properties.
Are these shorts transparent or squat-proof?
The seamless technology and body-sculpting knitted pattern are designed to provide good coverage and reduce transparency. For best results, ensure you select the correct size, as overstretching fabric can affect opacity.
What material are the shorts made from?
The plain shorts are made from 88% Nylon and 12% Elastane. The marl variants are composed of 50% Nylon, 36% Polyester, and 14% Elastane, offering durability and stretch for active use.
How do I choose the correct size?
Please refer to the USA Pro official size guide. These shorts are designed to offer a supportive, snug fit. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for compression versus a slightly looser fit, but generally, choose your usual UK dress size.
Can I wear these shorts for casual everyday wear?
While designed primarily for athletic performance, their comfortable seamless construction makes them suitable for active leisure, lounging at home, or running errands where comfort is a priority. However, their features are optimized for fitness.
How do I prevent odor buildup in the fabric?
To prevent odor, wash your shorts promptly after each workout. Machine wash cold with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, which can trap bacteria and odors. Air dry completely before storing.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or uncomfortable during activity.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the USA Pro size guide. While designed to be supportive, they should not restrict movement. If discomfort persists, try a larger size. Allow for some stretch with initial wear.
Fabric appears to be pilling or snagging after a few washes.
Ensure you are washing the shorts on a gentle cycle with similar fabrics. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or hook-and-loop fasteners, which can cause snags. Air dry instead of tumble drying, as heat can contribute to pilling. Avoid abrasive surfaces during wear.
Sweat-wicking performance seems reduced.
Check if you are using fabric softener during washing. Fabric softeners can coat the fibers and hinder their moisture-wicking capabilities. Wash without fabric softener to restore performance. Also, ensure the shorts are clean and free of residue.
Shorts are slipping down during workouts.
The high-waisted design should provide a secure fit. Ensure the waistband is properly positioned. If slippage occurs, double-check your size; a size too large might not provide enough compression to stay up. A snug fit is intended for optimal support.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality, performance, and longevity of your USA Pro Longline Cycling Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's properties.
