FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for running?
Yes, the lightweight material and breathability make them an excellent choice for running and various cardiovascular training activities.
Do the pockets have zippers?
Yes, these shorts feature mesh-lined zippered pockets to help keep your belongings secure.
Can I use these for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, they are designed specifically for field sports and training, not for chlorine-heavy pool environments.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts are true to standard athletic sizing. Refer to the manufacturer's size chart to match your waist measurement to the correct size.
How often should I wash these shorts?
It is recommended to wash them after every intense workout to remove sweat and salt buildup, which can affect fabric performance over time.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is stuck or pulled inside the waistband
Use a small safety pin to feed the cord back through the opening in the waistband.
Fabric feels damp after intense exercise
Ensure the shorts are not being layered under heavy, non-breathable clothing; Dri-FIT works best with airflow.
Zipper feels stiff
Check for debris or grit caught in the teeth and gently clean with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Dri-FIT gear, follow these care instructions: Always machine wash in cold water with similar colours to prevent fading. Use mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce their effectiveness. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the embroidered Swoosh logo. Do not bleach or dry clean these items.
