FAQs

What makes these shorts suitable for speed sessions?

Their extremely lightweight design and side slits allow for unrestricted movement and minimal drag, which are crucial for achieving higher speeds.

Are these shorts suitable for very long distances, like marathons?

Yes, the comfortable, supportive waistband and built-in brief are designed to prevent chafing and provide support over extended periods of running.

How do the side slits benefit my running?

The side slits allow your legs to move freely through their full range of motion with each stride, promoting a more natural and efficient running gait.

What does '100% recycled materials' mean for the product?

It means the polyester used in the shorts has been reclaimed from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, reducing the need for new raw materials and lowering the overall environmental footprint.

Can I wear these without underwear?

The shorts feature a built-in brief designed to offer support and comfort, so they can be worn without additional underwear.

How should I wash these shorts to maintain their performance?

Machine wash cold with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat drying. Air drying or low heat tumble dry is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Adizero line is designed for a snug, performance fit. Check the sizing chart for accurate measurements. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider if the 'second-skin' feel is suitable for your preference.

Chafing occurs during runs

Verify that the built-in brief is properly positioned. Ensure the waistband is sitting comfortably on your waist and not rolling down. For very long runs, some runners may still benefit from anti-chafing balm, especially in warmer conditions.

Material feels different than expected

These shorts are made from 100% recycled polyester. This material is chosen for its lightweight properties and sustainability. It may feel slightly different or require specific care compared to virgin polyester or other common sportswear fabrics.
