Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive during movement
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The lightweight and flexible weave should provide ample freedom, but an incorrect size can cause restriction.
Fabric not wicking sweat effectively
Check if the care labels have been followed. Fabric softeners or incorrect washing can sometimes impede moisture-wicking properties. Ensure the garment is not overloaded with dirt or grime.
Zipper on pockets is difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Waistband feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the drawstring to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. If the elastic itself is too loose and the drawstring cannot compensate, consider if a smaller size might be more appropriate for future purchases.
