FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Core Flex Pocket Design?
The Core Flex Pocket Design helps keep the protective cup in a more natural position, enhancing comfort and allowing for a greater range of motion during athletic activities.
Can I use my own protective cup with these shorts?
While the shorts have a pocket designed to hold a cup, it is specifically engineered for the included Bio-Flex cup to ensure optimal fit and security. Using a different cup may affect performance and protection.
How do I clean the Bio-Flex cup?
The Bio-Flex cup can be hand washed with mild soap and water. Rinse it thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shorts.
What materials are the shorts made from?
The shorts are constructed from supportive four-way stretch polyester fabric with vented mesh for maximum ventilation.
Are these shorts suitable for youth athletes?
Yes, the product description indicates they are ideal for competitive Youth and Adult Athletes. However, ensure you select the appropriate size for the intended user.
What does 'moisture-wicking' mean in this context?
Moisture-wicking means the fabric is designed to draw sweat away from your body to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate, helping you stay dry and comfortable.
Is the included cup mandatory for wearing the shorts?
The shorts are designed with a cup pocket and include a Bio-Flex cup for protection. While you can technically wear the shorts without a cup, their primary protective function relies on its inclusion.
Troubleshooting
Cup feels uncomfortable or shifts during activity.
Ensure the Bio-Flex cup is correctly inserted into the pocket and secured by the cup lock. Try adjusting the position slightly to find a more comfortable and secure fit for your body.
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive.
Verify that you have ordered the correct size. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. If the size is correct, the four-way stretch fabric should offer flexibility; significant restriction might indicate an incorrect size selection.
Fabric is not wicking moisture effectively.
Ensure the shorts are not oversaturated with sweat. For best results, wash with appropriate detergents and avoid fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking properties. Ensure proper drying between uses.
Seams are causing irritation.
The chafe-free flatlock seams are designed to minimize irritation. If irritation persists, ensure the correct size is being worn, as a garment that is too tight can exacerbate friction.
