Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Altura Kielder shorts maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shorts feature an elasticated waist; ensure you measure your waist circumference accurately for the best fit, as the relaxed cut is intended to be comfortable rather than skin-tight.
- Knee Pads: Simply pull the shorts on over your preferred knee pad model. The fabric is designed to slide easily over impact-resistant materials.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface after extensive use, you can re-apply a spray-on DWR treatment to restore the water-resistant capabilities.
- Drying: Air dry in the shade to protect the integrity of the synthetic fibers and coating.
