Product Information
Full details
The Altura Spark Trail Shorts are designed for active kids who enjoy mountain biking and outdoor exploration. These shorts provide a key benefit of exceptional durability and water resistance, making them ideal for handling muddy trails and changing weather conditions. While they are built for rugged performance, users should note that they do not include a built-in padded chamois, so they may be best paired with separate padded liner shorts for longer rides.

FAQs
Do these shorts come with a padded chamois?
No, these are shell shorts and do not include an integrated pad.
Are these shorts suitable for adults?
No, this specific model is designed for children, sized specifically for a 9-10 year old age range.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry these to maintain the fabric properties and water-resistant coating.
What is the material composition?
These shorts are constructed from durable, high-performance Nylon.
Are they waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant finish that protects against light rain and trail spray, but they are not fully waterproof.
How do I determine if the size fits my child?
The size listed is a standard UK children's size 9-10; we recommend measuring the child's waist and inseam to ensure a proper fit against the brand's size chart.
Troubleshooting
Water-resistance seems less effective after several washes
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can be refreshed by applying a specialized fabric re-proofer spray designed for cycling apparel.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Clean any debris or trail dirt from the zipper teeth using a soft brush and ensure the fabric is not caught in the slide mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Altura Spark Trail Shorts, always check the interior label for specific laundry instructions. We recommend washing them on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent to preserve the water-resistant finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the technical coating from the Nylon fibers. Drip dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the fabric structure. These shorts are compatible with most standard youth cycling liners or athletic base layers.
