Troubleshooting
Drawcord not staying tied
Ensure the drawcord is pulled through both eyelets securely. If the ends are frayed, consider knotting them or using a replacement drawcord.
Shorts feel uncomfortable or restrictive
Adjust the waistband using the drawcord for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to the size chart if unsure.
Fabric pilling after washing
Wash inside out and avoid washing with items that have zippers or rough textures. Use a gentle cycle and air dry if possible.
Dri-FIT technology seems less effective
Ensure fabric softener is not used, as it can coat the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking capabilities. Wash with detergent only and consider a pre-wash treatment for athletic wear.
