FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for long-distance touring?

These shorts are optimized for rides up to three hours. For longer touring days, you may require a model with more substantial, long-distance padding.

Do I need to wear underwear with these?

No, cycling shorts are designed to be worn without underwear to prevent chafing and to allow the chamois to function as intended.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the standard UK sizing provided. The fabric is high-stretch, so ensure a snug, supportive fit without feeling constricted.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No, you should never tumble dry your cycling shorts as the heat damages the technical fabrics and elastic components.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the 78% polyamide and 22% elastane blend is designed for breathability and moisture management during active cycling.

Troubleshooting

Shorts riding up the leg while pedaling

Ensure the silicone leg grippers are in direct contact with your skin and not over other fabric layers.

Chafing during rides

Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that no undergarments are being worn beneath the shorts.

Material losing stretch over time

Check your wash cycle; using high heat or tumble drying will degrade the elastane in the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent comfort for rides up to three hours
  • High-stretch Italian fabric provides a flattering and secure fit
  • Silicone grippers effectively prevent leg ride-up
  • Reflective detailing enhances safety in low-light conditions

Cons

  • Not intended for long-distance rides exceeding three hours
  • Requires careful washing to maintain fabric elasticity
  • Limited to black colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure longevity and maintain the technical properties of your cycling shorts, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a cool 30°C temperature to protect the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to preserve the elasticity of the chamois and fabric.
  3. Usage: These shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin without undergarments to prevent friction and maximize the effectiveness of the chamois.
