FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense gym workouts?
Yes, the squat-proof coverage and compression support make them ideal for high-intensity training and weightlifting.
Can I store a smartphone in the pockets?
The side pockets are designed for small essentials. Depending on the size of your smartphone, it may fit, but larger devices might feel insecure.
Do these shorts provide sun protection?
While the high-density fabric provides a physical barrier, these are not specifically rated for UPF protection.
How should I wash them to maintain the anti-bacterial coating?
Machine wash at a cool temperature with a mild detergent and avoid bleach or heavy softeners.
Is the waistband high-rise?
The shorts feature a soft, elastic waistband designed for a supportive fit that stays in place during movement.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less stretchy after multiple washes
Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which can leave a residue on synthetic performance fibers.
Visible lint or pilling on the surface
Wash the shorts inside out and avoid mixing with abrasive materials like denim or garments with hook-and-loop fasteners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dare 2b Refresh Shorts, follow these care instructions. Because the fabric is made of performance-grade polyester, avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the material and compromise the quick-dry and odour-control capabilities. Always wash with like colours in cool water. When drying, it is recommended to air dry or use a low-heat tumble setting to prevent the elastic waistband and compression fibers from losing their shape. Check the label for the specific size guide to ensure the correct fit, as the sculpting nature of the compression means it is designed to be worn snug against the skin.
