These shorts provide the dual benefit of a secure, supportive inner liner and a flexible woven outer layer, featuring innovative sweat-activated cooling technology.

FAQs
Can these shorts be worn for swimming?
While the material is synthetic, these are designed for gym and track performance, not as dedicated swimwear.
How does the ChillTek technology work?
It is a sweat-activated technology within the fabric that reacts to your body's moisture to provide a cooling effect as you heat up.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The secure zip pocket is designed for smaller essential items like keys or energy gels; it may not accommodate large modern smartphones.
What is the primary material composition?
The shorts are made from high-quality, durable polyester engineered for performance and moisture management.
Should I wear underwear underneath the liner?
The inner liner is designed to provide support, so additional underwear is generally unnecessary and may cause friction or discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Inner liner feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly to align the liner with your natural hip position; if the issue persists, verify the size against your measurements.
Drawcord is difficult to untie after a workout
Avoid pulling the drawcord too tight; if it knots, gently work the knot loose with your fingertips rather than pulling forcefully.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sweat-activated cooling helps maintain comfort.
- Integrated inner liner provides excellent support and coverage.
- Highly durable polyester construction suitable for repeated heavy training.
- Side slits allow for unrestricted leg movement.
- Convenient secure zip pocket keeps valuables safe during activity.
Cons
- The 2-in-1 design is less versatile than standard unlined shorts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Castore Apex shorts, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle to preserve the ChillTek fabric properties.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible; avoid high-heat tumble drying, as it can degrade the elastic integrity of the inner liner and waistband.
- Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners as they can clog the technical fibers and diminish the sweat-wicking performance.
- Compatibility: These shorts pair best with technical compression shirts or lightweight training tees that also offer moisture management.
