Can I remove the liner?

Are these shorts water-resistant?
While they are highly breathable and quick-drying, they are not classified as fully waterproof, though they handle light trail spray well.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

Troubleshooting
Waistband feels loose during rides

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ruckus shorts, always fasten the buttons and zippers before washing. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the technical fabrics and the TMF pad foam. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the material. Hang dry the shorts whenever possible to prevent the liner's elastic components from losing their shape. For fit adjustments, the contoured waistband is designed to sit comfortably at the hips; ensure it is centered to take full advantage of the laser-perforated cooling zones.
