No, these are waterproof shell shorts designed to be worn over your preferred cycling liner or chamois.
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the shorts with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Ensure you are not overdressing with non-breathable layers underneath. If the DWR is active, the breathability should handle sweat; otherwise, check for any damage to the internal membrane.
To ensure the best fit, adjust the ratchet waist closure to your preferred tension before hitting the trail. These shorts are designed as an outer shell and pair well with padded liner shorts underneath. For care, it is essential to wash them with technical garment cleaners rather than standard household detergents, which can clog the membrane. After washing, tumble dry on a low setting or air dry, then re-apply a DWR spray periodically when you notice water no longer beads on the surface. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these will damage the technical properties of the 3-layer fabric.
