FAQs
Is the phone pocket large enough for all phones?
The expandable pocket is designed to accommodate most standard-sized smartphones, but ultra-large phones with heavy cases may have a snug fit.
Are these shorts lined?
Yes, these shorts include an integrated liner to provide support and comfort, eliminating the need for additional base layers.
Can I use these for swimming?
These shorts are designed specifically for running and moisture-wicking; they are not intended for use as swimwear.
How do I ensure the reflective strips remain bright?
Wash the garment inside out and avoid aggressive detergents to maintain the reflective properties.
Does the fabric have stretch?
Yes, the shorts feature flexible woven fabric combined with stretch side mesh panels for maximum mobility.
Troubleshooting
Visible wear on reflective details
Avoid high-heat drying and iron-pressing, as high temperatures can cause reflective coatings to peel or crack.
Waistband feels loose over time
Ensure you are using the internal drawstring to customize the fit, and check that you aren't using fabric softeners that can break down elastic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics ROAD shorts, proper care is essential. It is recommended to machine wash in cold water with similar colors and avoid the use of bleach or heavy fabric softeners, which can degrade the performance fibers and reflective details. Always air dry or tumble dry on a low-heat setting to protect the elasticity of the waistband and the integrity of the mesh panels. When storing, ensure the zippered pocket is zipped to prevent snagging on other garments. The shorts are designed as a standard performance fit; ensure you choose your standard size for the optimal balance between support and comfort.
