FAQs

What type of cycling are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are ideal for Mountain Biking (MTB) and general off-road riding, offering a balance of comfort, durability, and freedom of movement.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The shorts feature velcro side-adjusters at the waist. Use these to customize the fit to your preference. Refer to the size chart for initial sizing guidance.

Can I wear padded cycling shorts underneath?

Yes, the baggy fit is designed to accommodate padded cycling shorts for added comfort on longer or more demanding rides.

Are the pockets secure enough for a phone?

There are two open front pockets and one zippered back pocket. The zippered pocket is recommended for securing items like a phone or wallet.

What is the sun protection rating?

The shorts offer Total Sun Protection with a UPF 50+ rating, safeguarding your skin from harmful UV rays.

How should I clean and care for the shorts?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat to maintain fabric integrity and reflective element effectiveness.

What material are the shorts made from?

The main fabric is 87% Polyamide and 13% Elastane (Fourty Bi-Stretch), with inserts made of 82% Polyester and 18% Elastane for enhanced breathability.

Troubleshooting

Waistband feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the velcro side-adjuster tabs for a custom fit. Ensure they are securely fastened before riding.

Pockets feel insecure for small items

Utilize the zippered back pocket for valuable or small items. The key holder inside the left pocket can also secure small essentials.

Fabric feels warm during intense activity

The mesh inserts aid breathability, but for very high-intensity summer activities, consider pairing with moisture-wicking base layers. Ensure proper hydration.

Reflective details fading

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. Follow the care instructions carefully, specifically avoiding high heat and harsh detergents.
