FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the fabric is durable and water-repellent, they are specifically engineered for training and running, not for use in chlorinated pool environments.
Does the pocket fit a modern smartphone?
The media zipped pockets are designed to securely hold standard-sized media devices, though ultra-large handsets may be a tight fit.
What material are the shorts made from?
They are constructed from high-quality, lightweight polyester designed for moisture management and durability.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these?
It is recommended to avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the ProTek water-repellent finish.
What does the 5-inch measurement represent?
The 5-inch measurement refers to the inseam length, which is the distance from the crotch seam to the bottom hem of the leg.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent coating seems less effective
Wash the garment on a gentle cycle without fabric softener, as softeners can leave a residue that interferes with the water-repellent performance.
Waistband feels loose during sprints
Ensure the elastic is not twisted inside the hem; verify the sizing matches your hip circumference for a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts are designed for an immediate, comfortable fit with an elasticated waistband that adjusts to your natural movement. Because these are performance garments made of polyester, proper maintenance is essential to keep the water-repellent coating effective.
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the technical fabrics and the water-repellent coating.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing directly over any branding or zip components.
- Storage: Hang the shorts in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup after high-sweat sessions.
