Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, use the adjustable side cinch to tighten the waist until the shorts stay securely in place during vigorous movement. These shorts pair well with standard mountain bike chamois or bib liners for added comfort on long rides. For care, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the DWR finish over time. Always hang to dry to preserve the integrity of the stretch nylon material and the specialized moisture-wicking waistband liner.
