FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While made of polyester, they are designed for sports and gym use; they do not have a built-in liner typical of swim trunks.
How does the regular fit compare to other sizes?
The regular fit provides a classic athletic cut that is neither skin-tight nor overly baggy, offering a balanced silhouette.
Are there pockets included?
The shorts feature a standard design suitable for light items, but they are not intended for carrying heavy gear.
What is the primary material used?
These shorts are constructed from high-quality, durable polyester.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
Yes, the breathable material is well-suited for running and provides the necessary range of motion.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after high-intensity exercise
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers underneath, as the polyester fabric relies on airflow to wick moisture effectively.
Waistband feels loose over time
Avoid high-heat drying cycles, which can damage the elasticity of the waistband material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your Performance Sports Shorts, it is recommended to machine wash them in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fiber over time. For drying, tumble dry on a low setting or hang-dry to preserve the elastic integrity of the waistband. These shorts pair perfectly with standard base layers or compression leggings if additional support is desired during colder training sessions.
