The offset inseam is moved away from the main contact area with the saddle to prevent chafing and premature fabric wear.
Machine wash in cool water with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener and avoid ironing.
Clear any trail grit or mud from the zip teeth using a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Wash the garment and tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the water-repellent treatment, or consider applying a wash-in DWR treatment.
For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct waist size to match your riding posture, as the anatomically contoured fit works best when snug. These shorts feature a classic zip fly and clasp opening for secure fastening. To maintain the integrity of the abrasion-resistant panels and the UPF coating, it is recommended to wash these shorts in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can interfere with the quick-drying and water-repellent properties of the technical fabric. Always air dry the garment out of direct sunlight to prolong the life of the specialized technical fibers.
