How should I wash these shorts?

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently pull the zipper while applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Shorts feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the waist is too tight, use the button closure and adjust with a belt. The fabric has some stretch, but if it consistently feels restrictive, consider a size up or a different fit style.

Seams appear to be fraying

Check care label for washing instructions. Over-washing or harsh washing cycles can cause fraying. If fraying is significant and within the warranty period, contact customer support.
