Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging on branches
Avoid heavily overgrown trails; the ultralight fabric is designed for performance and speed rather than high-abrasion resistance.
Waistband sliding during runs
Ensure the internal drawstring is securely knotted before beginning your run to maintain a customized, ergonomic fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the technical fabrics, always wash these shorts in cold water using a mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fibers. Due to the ultralight nature of the material, it is recommended to air dry the shorts away from direct, harsh sunlight. While the shorts are compatible with most running vests and belts, ensure that any waist-worn hydration equipment is adjusted properly to avoid excessive friction against the thin fabric of the shorts during long runs.
