FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the material is quick-drying, they are designed specifically for gym and leisure activities rather than as dedicated swimwear.
What is the material composition?
The shorts are made from durable, high-performance polyester.
Do the pockets have zippers?
Yes, these shorts are equipped with zippered side pockets to keep your items secure.
How should I choose my size?
The shorts follow a regular fit; choose the size you typically wear for athletic apparel, or refer to the Adidas standard sizing chart for your waist measurement.
Can I put these in the dryer?
We recommend air drying, but if necessary, use a low-heat setting to avoid compromising the fabric integrity.
What does Climacool technology do?
Climacool is a ventilation system that pulls sweat away from the body and promotes airflow to keep you dry and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after a workout
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers underneath and check that you haven't used fabric softener, which inhibits moisture-wicking.
Zipper feels stiff
Check for debris or lint buildup in the zipper track and clear it carefully using a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts remain in peak condition, proper care is essential.
Care Instructions
- Machine Wash: Use a cold wash cycle to protect the moisture-wicking fibers.
- Avoid Softeners: Fabric softeners can clog the pores in the polyester weave, reducing the effectiveness of the Climacool technology.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible or use a low-heat tumble dry setting to prevent damage to the fabric structure.
- Ironing: Avoid direct ironing on the textured finish; if necessary, use a cool iron setting with a protective cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Compatibility
These shorts feature a regular fit and are available in various standard sizing options. They pair well with compression leggings if extra warmth is needed, or can be worn alone for optimal ventilation in warmer environments.
