Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Altura Ridge Tier shorts, follow these guidelines:
- Adjustment: Use the SR buckle to cinch the waistband while standing, ensuring it is snug enough to stay in place while pedaling but not restrictive.
- Compatibility: The relaxed fit accommodates most standard MTB knee pads. Test your fitment before your first ride to ensure no snagging occurs.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a technical garment wash designed for waterproof gear to avoid damaging the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Drying: Air dry only. Avoid tumble drying or using high heat, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane.
- Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface over time, apply a spray-on DWR re-proofer to restore performance.
