Utilizing specialized sweat-activated cooling fabric, these shorts offer a secure, supportive fit through their built-in liner, though users should note that the integrated under-short style requires careful sizing to ensure the compression fit remains comfortable rather than restrictive.

FAQs
Can I use these shorts for swimming?
These shorts are engineered for gym and running performance; while the polyester material is quick-drying, they are not designed as swimwear.
How should I wash the Castore Apex shorts?
Wash in cold water with similar colors and air dry to maintain the integrity of the technical fabric and cooling technology.
What is the purpose of the internal zip pocket?
The internal zip pocket is designed to securely hold small essentials like house keys or a locker key while you move.
Do I need to wear underwear with these shorts?
No, the built-in under-short liner provides the necessary support and coverage, designed to be worn without additional layers.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes, the outer shell is made from a lightweight, stretch-woven polyester that is designed to facilitate a full range of motion.
Troubleshooting
Inner liner feels too restrictive
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the liner feels overly tight, you may need a larger size to accommodate movement.
Shorts feel heavy after a long workout
Ensure you are not using heavy fabric softeners during laundry, as they can inhibit the moisture-wicking and cooling properties of the fabric.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Integrated liner provides excellent security and support during high-impact movement
- ChillTek technology effectively helps manage body heat during intense sessions
- Lightweight, durable polyester material dries quickly after perspiration

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance out of your shorts, ensure the internal drawcord is tied securely before starting your workout to prevent slipping during movement. Regarding care, these shorts are designed for durability, but the specialized cooling fabric benefits from specific maintenance. Always wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the ChillTek technology. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the elasticity of the waistband and the shape of the liner.
