FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for running, gym workouts, training, and other athletic activities due to their moisture-wicking and stretch properties.
How do I determine the right size?

Can I wear these without underwear?

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

How do I care for the reflective logo?

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp after a workout.
Ensure the shorts are washed with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking capabilities. Make sure to tumble dry on low or air dry completely.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust.
Gently pull the drawcord ends to loosen or tighten. If frayed, tie a small knot to prevent further fraying and improve grip.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Avoid high heat when drying. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron the fabric, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic fibers.
