FAQs
Can I remove the mesh liner?
No, the mesh liner is integrated into the construction of the shorts and is not intended to be removed.
Are these shorts suitable for the gym?
Yes, while designed for running, their lightweight, regular fit makes them versatile for most gym activities and cross-training.
Will my smartphone fit in the back pocket?
The pocket is designed to hold most standard-sized smartphones securely. However, very large handsets may have a snug fit.
What is the primary material?
These shorts are made from high-quality, lightweight polyester.
Does the waistband have a drawstring?
Yes, there is an adjustable drawcord located inside the elasticised waistband for a custom fit.
How should I wash these shorts?
Wash in cold water with like colors and avoid fabric softeners to maintain the fabric's performance capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose during a run
Ensure the internal drawcord is pulled tight and tied securely in a double knot before starting your workout.
Zipped pocket sticks or becomes difficult to open
Check for debris or grit caught in the zipper track; rinse with water and allow to dry, or use a dry silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Fabric feels restrictive during deep lunges
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly at the hips; the Formotion cutlines are designed to align with the body's natural shape when worn at the correct waist height.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Formotion cutlines allow for unrestricted range of motion
- Secure zipped rear pocket for storing phones or keys
- Adjustable waistband provides a stable, custom fit
- Lightweight and breathable fabric ideal for warm-weather running
Cons
- Integrated mesh liner cannot be removed

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a proper fit, utilize the drawcord to secure the elastic waist before beginning your run. As these shorts come in a regular fit, select your standard size for the intended athletic profile.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash in cold water with like colors.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the polyester fabric.
- Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry to preserve the integrity of the elastic waistband.
- Close the back zipper before laundering to prevent snags or damage to the zipper teeth.
