Troubleshooting

Shorts feel tight after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Avoid high heat settings.

Sweat-wicking is no longer effective.

Check if fabric softeners or dryer sheets were used, as these can clog the fabric's wicking properties. Wash with a small amount of white vinegar to help strip residues.

Waistband feels uncomfortable or rolls.

Ensure the correct size is selected. The shorts are designed with a mid-rise fit; consider if a different rise style would be more comfortable for your specific needs.
