Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts remain waterproof and functional, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Utilize the ratchet closure to find a snug fit that stays in place while pedaling out of the saddle.
- Compatibility: These shorts are designed to sit over most standard bib liners or padded underwear. If you prefer extra knee protection, ensure your knee pads fit cleanly underneath the hem.
- Care: Machine wash in cold water using a technical gear wash. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric's integrity. Periodically re-apply a DWR spray if you notice water stop beading on the surface after long-term use.
