How should I wash these shorts to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or use fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric's performance properties.

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Under Armour sizing chart. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider trying a non-compression baselayer.
Fabric is not wicking sweat effectively
Ensure the garment is not overly worn or damaged. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can impede moisture-wicking properties. Wash with like colors to prevent color transfer that might affect performance.
Seams are causing irritation
Verify that the shorts are the correct size and that the ergonomic design is oriented correctly. The seams are designed to be in low-abrasion areas, but individual fit can vary.
