FAQs
What material are the Giro Women's Ride Classic Overshorts made of?
They are made from a fabric blend of 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex, with a weight of 202 g/m2.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, these overshorts are not waterproof. They are designed to be moisture-wicking and quick-drying.
Can I wear these without undershorts?
While they can be worn without undershorts, they are designed to integrate with cycling undershorts (like Giro's Women's Undershorts) for optimal comfort and performance, especially for longer rides.
How do I determine the correct size?
The sizing is based on UK women's dress sizes. Refer to a standard size chart or consider your usual fit for Giro apparel.
What is the best way to store my valuables in the pockets?
The zip pocket is designed to securely hold small items like keys, cards, or a small phone. Ensure the zipper is fully closed before riding.
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
They are suitable for light trail riding or commuting where a casual style is preferred. For aggressive mountain biking, more durable and specialized shorts might be recommended.
How do I wash and care for the overshorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and excessive heat.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper track with a soft brush and apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Avoid using oil-based lubricants which can stain the fabric.
Fabric feels restrictive
Ensure the overshorts are the correct size and worn over appropriate undershorts. The stretch twill is designed for mobility, so significant restriction may indicate a sizing issue or the need for further adjustment using belt loops.
Pilling or wear on fabric after several uses
Reduce friction with other garments or surfaces when washing or drying. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim. Ensure correct washing temperature and cycle.
