How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart. It is recommended to measure your waist and inseam for the most accurate fit. The fit should allow for comfortable movement.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The fit should allow for full range of motion without being too loose.

While breathable, consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers in very hot conditions. Ensure adequate hydration.
