To use these pants, simply put them on like regular pants. Adjust the waist and ankle cinches to your comfort level. Use the zipped hand, rear, and cargo pockets to store items like your phone, keys, or snacks. When riding, the ClickFast™ compatibility allows you to connect to compatible saddles for better support. For maintenance, machine wash them in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Hang them to dry. Make sure to close all the zippers before washing to prevent damage. And don't iron the pants as it might damage the water - repellent finish.
