Using these cycling shorts is easy. Just put them on like regular shorts and click in the liner using the Click fast attachment system. When you're out cycling, the 6 zipped pockets are great for storing small items like keys, cards, or energy bars. As for care, machine - wash them in cold water to keep the fabric and the stitching in good condition. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the nylon and the mesh of the liner. After washing, let them air - dry. Don't tumble - dry, as high heat may shrink the fabric or damage the elastic in the waistband and hem grippers. With proper care, these shorts will serve you well for many cycling adventures.
