USE SIMPLE DETERGENTS WITH NO ADDITIVES Never use detergents with fabric softeners, perfumes or any additive type product. The general rule of thumb is the simpler the better. Many detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance. Typically the best detergents to use will have "Clear" or "Free" in their names. Don't pour the detergent directly onto the clothing, put it in the washer first, when you start the water. If something is not functionally working, but is not dirty, try rinsing it twice in warm to hot water. This will help get rid of the harmful surfactants. READ THE CONTENT CARE LABEL: On the inside of your garment, or on the hangcard, there are instructions for the care of that individual piece. On garments this will be on a side seam or back seam label. Follow those directions. On finer fabrics, use a "Gentle" cycle. Close all zippers, attach "hook and loop" closures on gloves YOU CAN USE THE DRYER, CAREFULLY: If you use a dryer be sure to use a lower / warm heat setting (Do NOT use a commercial dryer or a "Hot" setting). This will often restore the fabric and help the water and wind repellent qualities. If in doubt, hang the clothing to dry.
FAQs
The Men's Quest Shorts are padded men's cycling shorts built for everyday comfort, from first long rides to weekend miles and commutes.
- Are the Men's Quest Shorts good for newer riders?
Yes. They're built around all-day comfort, with a SELECT Levitate™ chamois and soft silicone leg grippers that stay put without pinching, which makes them an easy first pair and a dependable everyday short. Bicycling named them its Most Durable Men's Cycling Shorts. - What chamois do the Men's Quest Shorts use?
The SELECT Levitate™ chamois, which cushions and reduces friction over everyday ride lengths. The Chamois Guide compares every tier. - Should I choose shorts or bib shorts?
Shorts are quicker on and off and suit shorter rides and commutes. The Men's Quest Bib Shorts hold the chamois in place without a waistband, which many riders prefer on longer rides. - How long is the inseam?
9 inches, with soft silicone leg grippers that hold the hems in place. - Do I wear underwear under cycling shorts?
No. The chamois is designed to sit directly against your skin. Underwear adds seams and traps moisture, which is what causes chafing. - How do they compare to the Men's Attack Shorts and Men's PRO Shorts?
The Men's Attack Shorts add more compression and the dual-density ELITE Levitate™ chamois for regular training. The Men's PRO Shorts carry our top-tier fabric and chamois for long, fast road rides. The Quest Shorts are built around everyday comfort. - What should I wear with the Men's Quest Shorts?
Pair them with the Men's Quest Short Sleeve Jersey for a complete everyday kit.
