FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they feature a water-resistant shell, they are primarily engineered for land-based training and high-intensity gym work.
Do the pockets accommodate a large smartphone?
The pockets are designed for smaller essentials like keys, cards, or energy gels; a large smartphone may feel uncomfortable or heavy in the zip pockets.
Is the inner brief removable?
No, the AerTek+ inner brief is integrated into the design to provide support and moisture management.
How should I choose the right size?
These shorts feature a regular fit with an adjustable drawcord waist; select your standard size based on the generic XXL size provided.
Does the reflective branding affect washing?
To preserve the reflective branding, wash the shorts inside out and avoid ironing directly over the logo.
Troubleshooting
Water-resistance seems to be fading
Over time, heavy washing can strip the coating. Consider re-applying a technical gear water-repellent spray specifically designed for synthetic performance fabrics.
Fabric snagged on equipment
To prevent future snags, ensure the mesh side panels are not caught on metal gym bench edges or rough weight bar knurling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the technical fabrics used in these shorts, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle to protect the ProTek water-resistant coating.
- Detergent: Use a mild athletic apparel detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the AerTek+ liner.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting to prevent elastic damage.
- Storage: Hang the shorts in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them bunched up in a gym bag while damp to prevent mildew and odor buildup.
