Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent, ideally inside out. Skip bleach and fabric softener, since softener can coat performance fibres and reduce moisture-wicking. Line-dry away from direct heat and check the care label on each product. Hang them to dry to maintain shape and minimise creasing.

They should sit comfortably at the waist with a clean line through the leg and no pulling at the seat when you sit. Use the size chart on each product page to pick your waist size.
