FAQs
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
These shorts feature a 4-inch inseam, which is optimized for running performance.
Are these shorts suitable for gym training as well as running?

Does this model come in other sizes?
Yes, different color variants and siblings are available in various sizes from XS to XL.
How should I wash these shorts to make them last?
Machine wash in cold water, do not bleach, and avoid tumble drying to preserve the technical fibers and elastic waistband.
Is the fabric see-through?
The performance fabric is designed for athletic use with a neat, professional profile that provides adequate coverage for running and training.
Does this have pockets?
This specific model prioritizes a lightweight, minimalist design to reduce bulk, and does not feature additional pockets.
Troubleshooting
Waistband sliding down during a run
Ensure the waistband is pulled up to your natural waist; if the issue persists, the size may be too large for your frame.
Fabric snagging or pilling
Wash the shorts inside out within a laundry mesh bag to prevent friction against other garments in the machine.
Material feeling damp after short runs
Ensure you are not wearing cotton layers underneath, as these absorb moisture and negate the performance properties of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your running shorts in peak condition, machine wash them in cold water with similar technical fabrics. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the performance fibers that manage sweat. Air-drying is recommended to maintain the elasticity of the waistband and the shape of the technical fabric. These shorts are designed to fit true to the UK size 8 (XS) specification; when pairing with other gear, they work best with lightweight, moisture-wicking base layers to optimize overall airflow.
