Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While they feature a mesh lining, they are designed primarily for athletic training and casual wear rather than as dedicated swimwear.

Do these shorts have a liner?

Yes, they are equipped with an internal mesh lining for added support and comfort.

How should I choose my size?

These shorts feature a regular fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may consider sizing down, but otherwise, your standard size should fit comfortably.

Is the material stretchy?

The recycled polyester offers some natural movement but does not feature spandex-like stretch. The regular fit provides the necessary room for mobility.

Can I put these in the dryer?

Yes, they can be tumble-dried on low heat, though air-drying is recommended to extend the life of the garment.

Troubleshooting

Drawcord is stuck or pulled through

Use a safety pin attached to one end of the cord to feed it back through the waist casing.

Fabric snagging

Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and wash inside out to minimize friction with other garments.

Excessive wrinkling

Remove promptly from the dryer while slightly damp or hang-dry to smooth out fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable fabric
  • Environmentally conscious recycled materials
  • Secure fit with drawcord adjustment
  • Classic, versatile aesthetic
  • Functional storage pockets

Cons

  • Regular fit might be too loose for high-speed sprinting
  • Polyester fabric lacks the natural feel of cotton
  • Limited size availability in certain colorways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shorts remain in peak condition, machine wash them in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the technical properties of the recycled polyester. For best results, tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the elastic waistband. These shorts are highly compatible with other adidas performance apparel and can be layered over base-layer leggings for colder training sessions.
