FAQs
What makes the mesh body material 'dissolvable'?
The term 'dissolvable' refers to the lightweight and highly open structure of the mesh, allowing for maximum airflow, not that it dissolves in water or use.
What is the inseam length for these shorts?
The inseam is 9.75 inches for a size 32. Sizing may vary slightly for other waist sizes.
Can I wear these shorts without a liner?
Yes, these shorts come with an integrated liner, designed for comfort and performance. You can wear them as they are.
How do I adjust the fit during a ride?
Use the Race Ratchet closure located on the waistband. This allows for quick and easy adjustments to tighten or loosen the fit while you are riding.
Are these shorts suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, they are designed for gravel, down-country, and XC riding, offering excellent ventilation and freedom of movement suitable for many mountain biking disciplines.
What is the main advantage of the TruDri® fabric?
TruDri® fabric is engineered to wick sweat away from your skin and dissipate it through the fabric, helping to keep you cool and dry during strenuous activity.
How should I clean my Flexair Ascent Shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, ironing, and dry cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose during a ride.
Adjust the Race Ratchet closure for a custom fit on-the-fly. If the fit remains problematic, consider if the initial sizing was correct.
Chafing or discomfort at the waist or leg openings.
Ensure the bonded panels are lying flat. Double-check the sizing; a size too small can cause chafing. Ensure the liner (if used) is positioned correctly.
Zipper on pocket is difficult to open or close.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Avoid forcing the zipper. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.
Reduced breathability or material feeling clammy.
Ensure the TruDri® fabric is functioning correctly. Wash the shorts according to care instructions to remove any buildup of sweat or residue that might impede moisture-wicking.
