FAQs
Can I wear these for swimming?
While made of polyester, these are designed for gym and track performance; they are not intended for use as swimwear.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts feature a fitted liner; if you prefer a looser feel, we recommend sizing up from your standard apparel size.
What is the primary material?
The shorts are constructed from high-quality, lightweight performance polyester designed for stretch and durability.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large phone?
The zip pocket is designed for small essentials like keys or cards; most modern large smartphones may not fit comfortably.
Do the shorts shrink in the dryer?
To prevent shrinking and damage to the technical performance fabric, we highly recommend air drying your shorts.
Troubleshooting
Waistband slipping during intense activity
Ensure the internal drawcord is tied securely and positioned comfortably against the body before starting your workout.
Fabric feeling less breathable after multiple washes
Wash the garment inside out to remove any residual body oils or detergent buildup that may be interfering with the ChillTek cooling technology.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture management and active cooling
- Supportive liner removes the need for separate compression shorts
- Highly functional pocket layout for secure item storage
- Lightweight, stretch-fabric construction aids in performance
Cons
- Compression-style liner can feel restrictive for some users
- Limited to specific color options in the current range
- Requires careful laundry maintenance to preserve cooling technology
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the ChillTek technology and the integrity of the polyester stretch fabric, follow these care instructions: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid the use of fabric softeners as they can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the technical fabric. Always air dry the shorts away from direct high-heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the waistband and the shape of the internal liner. The XS size is designed for a slim athletic profile; if you are between sizes or prefer a less compressive fit on the thighs, consider sizing up.
