Troubleshooting
Leg bands sliding during the ride
Ensure the skin is free of lotions or oils and that the elastic band is placed directly against the skin without any fabric bunching underneath.
Chamois discomfort
Verify the shorts are pulled up fully into the crotch area to align the padding with your anatomy; consider using a chamois cream for rides exceeding three hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ale Strada PR-R Shorts, always wash them in a delicate cycle at low temperatures, ideally using a garment bag to protect the specialized fabrics and chamois. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the wicking properties of the technical materials. When putting them on, ensure the LG Stability leg bands are positioned flat against the skin to maximize the grip. These shorts are best paired with a high-performance jersey for optimal aero performance. For storage, hang the shorts in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the elasticity of the waist and leg bands.
