adidas Germany 26 Home Authentic Shorts - White - XS

While the design is stylish, these shorts are specifically engineered for athletic performance with features like CLIMACOOL+ and sweat-wicking materials. They are best suited for on-field activities.

CLIMACOOL+ is adidas's advanced cooling innovation designed to help manage heat and sweat, keeping athletes dry and comfortable during intense physical activity.

Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron directly on the logos or crest. Always check the care label inside the garment.

The shorts are made from 100% polyester, with 100% of the polyester being recycled. They feature a pique fabric construction.

These shorts have a regular fit with a mid-rise, fully elasticized waistband designed for freedom of movement during sports. They are intended to be functional for play.

The logos and crest are heat-transferred and integrated into the design for durability. They are not designed to be removed.

Pique fabric offers a durable yet lightweight feel, providing structure and breathability that is beneficial for athletic performance.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too snug, consider a size up if available, though note that this is a performance fit.

Verify that the care instructions have been followed, particularly regarding the use of fabric softeners, which can impede wicking properties. Ensure the garment is not oversaturated with sweat before its quick-dry properties can engage.

Review the care instructions. Ensure the shorts were washed and ironed inside out on low heat, avoiding direct contact with the transferred elements.

This is typical of performance pique fabrics. The material will soften slightly with wear and washing, but its primary function is durability and structure for athletic use.
