FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While made of polyester, these are designed as sportswear and not specifically as board shorts for swimming, so they may hold water longer than dedicated swimwear.
Does the material have any stretch?
Yes, the jersey polyester construction provides a natural degree of flexibility, making them comfortable for active movement.
Can I put these in the dryer?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to use a low heat setting to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the elastic waistband.
What is the fit type?
These shorts feature a Regular fit, designed to sit comfortably on the body without being overly tight or baggy.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large smartphone?
The pockets are standard front-entry pockets; they are suitable for keys or wallets, but a large smartphone may feel insecure during intense running.
Are these made from sustainable materials?
Yes, this product is made with 100% recycled materials as part of adidas' commitment to reducing waste.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring lost inside the waistband
Use a safety pin attached to the end of the drawstring to feed it back through the casing starting from the opening.
Fabric snagging or pilling
Wash the shorts inside out within a mesh laundry bag to prevent friction with other garments or machine components.
Waistband losing elasticity
Ensure the shorts are never washed in high-temperature settings and avoid high-heat tumble drying, as heat destroys elastic fibers.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts come ready to wear with a standard regular fit. To ensure the longevity of the recycled polyester fabric, follow these care instructions: machine wash the shorts in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elasticity of the waistband and the performance of the synthetic fibers. Always air dry when possible to maintain the shape of the garment, or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high-heat ironing, as this can damage the iconic 3-stripe branding and the synthetic structure of the jersey fabric.
