FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While made of quick-drying polyester, they are designed primarily for gym and athletic use, not as dedicated swimwear.
Do these shorts have an inner liner?
No, these are standard unlined workout shorts, allowing you to wear your preferred compression or athletic underwear underneath.
How do I determine my size?
These shorts follow a standard regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual size based on your standard waist measurements.
Can I put these in the dryer?
Yes, but we recommend using a low-heat setting to prevent the synthetic fibers from breaking down over time.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The side zip pockets are designed for smaller items like keys or wallets; large modern smartphones may not fit securely or comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after intense workout
Ensure you are not wearing the shorts over heavy cotton layers; Climacool works best as a primary layer directly against the skin.
Zip pockets sticking
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth; ensure the zipper track is clean and clear of thread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas shorts maintain their performance characteristics, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid using fabric softeners as they can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the synthetic fibers.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the elasticity of the waistband. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing directly on any logos or specialized fabric treatments.
