FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the material is quick-drying polyester, these are designed specifically for running and include an integrated liner intended for athletic movement rather than aquatic use.
How do I determine my correct size?
These shorts follow standard male sizing. Use your typical pant size as a baseline; the adjustable drawcord allows for minor variances in fit.
Does the pocket hold a large smartphone?
The zipped back pocket is designed for small essentials like keys, coins, or a single energy gel. Most modern large smartphones will not fit comfortably in this pocket.
What is the primary benefit of the Formotion technology?
Formotion is designed to map the anatomy of the human body, providing an optimized fit that follows your natural movement patterns for enhanced comfort and performance.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, they are machine washable. We recommend washing in cold water and avoiding harsh chemicals or fabric softeners to maintain the fabric's technical properties.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is stuck or difficult to tighten
Ensure the cord is not twisted inside the waistband casing. Lay the shorts flat and gently guide the drawcord through to remove any internal knots.
Visible wear or snagging on the fabric
Avoid contact with rough surfaces, velcro, or sharp edges. If a snag appears, use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface pilling.
Liner feels uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing the shorts at the correct waist height. Adjusting the drawcord to secure the waistband higher or lower on the hips can often resolve discomfort.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Formotion technology promotes unrestricted running mechanics
- Secure zipped storage for small essentials
- Lightweight and breathable polyester fabric
- Adjustable waistband ensures a reliable fit
Cons
- Regular fit may feel looser than compression-style gear
- Limited to a single secure pocket design
- Polyester fabric requires specific care to prevent pilling
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts last throughout your training season, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the performance fibers of the polyester.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the elastic waistband and the mesh liner. If you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting.
- Fit: These shorts utilize a standard sizing scale. The drawcord is designed to be tied once you have the waistband positioned comfortably at your hips.
- Compatibility: They pair seamlessly with standard technical running shirts or compression baselayers if you prefer extra coverage.
