How do I wash these bike shorts?
Machine wash them in cold water with like colors and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What makes the fit 'compressive'?
The compression fabric is designed to hug your body, providing support to muscles and a smooth, body-sculpting silhouette.
Do these shorts have pockets?
The product description does not explicitly mention pockets. Generally, this style of bike short focuses on a streamlined, pocket-free design for minimal distraction during workouts.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight on first wear
This is expected due to the compressive nature of the fabric. Wear them for a short period, and they will mold to your body over time. If a less compressive fit is preferred from the start, consider sizing up.
Fabric feels less breathable over time
Ensure you are washing the shorts without fabric softener, as this can clog the fibers and reduce breathability. Follow the recommended care instructions closely.
Pilling or wear on the fabric
Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim or items with zippers that could snag. Always follow the cold wash and low tumble dry instructions.
