Do these shorts have an internal liner?

How should I choose the right size?
The shorts feature an elasticated waistband and drawcord. If you are between sizes, refer to the Nike size guide for the XL fit provided.
Can I iron these shorts?
It is generally not recommended to iron technical polyester apparel as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers and moisture-wicking finish.

Troubleshooting
Drawcord has retracted into the waistband
Use a safety pin to guide the cord through the casing or a pair of tweezers to carefully pull the end back out.
Fabric feels saturated after intense use
Ensure you are not using fabric softener in your wash cycle, as it leaves a residue that inhibits the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester.
