Questions
How do I choose the correct size?
These shorts follow Thai sizing standards. We advise ordering one size larger than your typical Western size for the best fit.
What is the benefit of microfibre over satin?
Microfibre offers a matte finish, is generally more durable, and is faster-drying than traditional satin, making it ideal for frequent, intense training sessions.
Are these shorts suitable for competition?
While designed for daily training, their classic cut and durable construction make them suitable for competition, provided they meet event regulations.
How should I care for these shorts?
Given they are fast-drying microfibre, machine washing in cold water and hang drying will maintain their quality and longevity. Avoid high heat.
