FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, while designed for gravel, their durable nylon construction and slim profile make them an excellent choice for XC and trail riding where snag-free performance is prioritized.
Can I wear these without a liner?
The shorts are designed as an outer shell and lack integrated padding. They are best paired with a bibshort or liner for maximum comfort.
How should I clean the laser-cut vents?
Hand wash or gentle machine wash is usually sufficient. Avoid using a pressure washer, as high-pressure water can damage the laser-cut edges.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, they are constructed from super-stretch woven nylon to ensure full range of motion while pedaling.
Does the sizing run true?
The shorts are cut in a slim, athletic fit. If you prefer a slightly looser feel or plan to layer thick clothing underneath, consider sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Shorts slipping down during rides
Adjust the Velcro waistband tabs for a tighter fit and ensure the silicone gripper print is clean and free of excessive mud or debris.
Reduced water repellency
Wash the shorts to remove dirt and reactivate the DWR coating by applying a spray-on waterproofing treatment specifically designed for technical outdoor gear.
Difficulty accessing bib pockets
Ensure that your inner bibshorts are pulled up correctly and aligned with the zipped thigh opening positions on the outer shell.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ventilation through laser-cut vents and mesh-lined pockets
- Secure fit with adjustable waist and silicone grip
- Streamlined profile prevents snagging on the saddle
- Sustainable DWR coating avoids harmful chemicals
Cons
- Slim-cut fit may feel restrictive for riders who prefer loose, relaxed-fit shorts
- Does not include an integrated liner, requiring separate purchase of Clickfast shorts
- DWR finish requires periodic maintenance to maintain effectiveness
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance of your shorts, use the internal Velcro tabs to dial in the waist circumference before starting your ride. If you use Endura Clickfast liners, snap them into the internal loops located inside the waistband for a stable, integrated setup.
For care, machine wash in cold water using a mild, technical-specific detergent to preserve the integrity of the water-repellent finish. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability of the nylon fabric. Drip dry in the shade, and avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent damage to the silicone grippers and adhesive components.
