FAQs

Are these bike shorts meant for firm compression?

No, these bike shorts are designed for light shaping and a smooth, seamless appearance. They offer a 'second skin' fit rather than firm compression.

Can I wear these for exercise?

While comfortable and breathable for low-impact activities like yoga or walking, they are not designed as performance activewear. They are best suited as a smoothing base layer.

How do I know which size to choose?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide. As they fit like a second skin, ensure you select your correct size for optimal comfort and smoothing. If you are between sizes, consider the level of shaping you desire.

Will the bonded edges leave marks?

The bonded edges are designed to lie flat and prevent lines, creating a seamless look. They should not leave marks if the correct size is worn.

What is the material composition?

These bike shorts are made from 85% Polyamide and 15% Elastane.

How should I care for the shorts to ensure they last?

Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always lay flat or hang to dry, and avoid bleach, ironing, or dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a less compressive fit. The material does offer some stretch.

Waistband rolling down

Ensure the size is correct and the waistband is pulled up fully. For some body shapes, a slightly tighter fit might be needed to keep the high rise in place. Ensure it's not being pulled up too high, which can cause it to fold.

Fabric feels different after washing

Follow the care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents, which can degrade the fabric's elasticity and smoothness over time.
