FAQs
What activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for a wide range of athletic activities including running, gym workouts, training, team sports, and general casual wear due to their comfort and freedom of movement.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The shorts feature an elasticated waistband and an internal drawcord. Adjust the drawcord to achieve a secure, comfortable fit around your waist that prevents slipping during movement.
Are the pockets suitable for carrying a phone or wallet securely?
The shorts have two open side pockets. They are convenient for small, easy-access items, but for valuables like a phone or wallet during intense activity, we recommend using more secure storage options like a zippered pocket or a running belt.
What material are these shorts made from?
The Nike Crusader Shorts are made from 100% Polyester, chosen for its durability, lightweight feel, and moisture-wicking properties.
Can I machine wash these shorts?
Yes, you can machine wash these shorts. For best results and to maintain their performance, machine wash cold with similar colors and tumble dry on low heat, or air dry.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While made of polyester, which dries quickly, these shorts are primarily designed for land-based sports and athletic training. They are not specifically designed as swimwear, but could be worn for casual dips if quick-drying is desired.
Do these shorts have an inner lining or brief?
The product description does not specify an inner lining or brief. Based on typical athletic shorts of this style, they generally do not include a built-in brief, allowing for personal preference in undergarments.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too loose or keep slipping down during activity.
Ensure the internal drawcord is pulled tight and tied securely. Adjust it to achieve a snug fit that stays put without being uncomfortable.
Material feels less effective at wicking sweat after washes.
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can clog the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking properties. Re-wash without softener.
Items fall out of side pockets during intense exercise.
The open side pockets are best for lighter, less critical items or for use during less strenuous activities. For valuables or during high-impact exercise, consider using alternative secure storage like a running belt or zippered pocket elsewhere.
Chafing occurs during long runs or workouts.
Ensure the shorts are clean and dry before wear. Apply anti-chafing balm to susceptible areas if needed. A secure but not overly tight fit is key; adjust the drawcord.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Nike Crusader Shorts (100% Polyester):
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Using a gentle cycle is recommended.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat, or air dry by hanging them up. Air drying is often preferred to preserve fabric integrity.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, avoiding direct contact with any logos. Generally, ironing is not needed for polyester athletic shorts.
- Avoid: Do not dry clean. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fabric's moisture-wicking properties over time.
