Quick Answer
For the best fit, choose your usual size and rely on the four-way stretch fabric to move with you. Care for them by washing cold and air drying to maintain the water-repellent finish.
Why Fit Matters for Athletic Short Shorts
The Astro Sol Women's Athletic Short Shorts are designed with a 2.5-inch inseam and a four-way stretch fabric. This means they offer a snug yet flexible fit that supports running, swimming, or gym sessions. The water-repellent microfiber fabric adds versatility, but it also requires proper care to keep its performance.
Understanding the Fabric's Needs
The blend of 96% polyester and 4% elastane gives these shorts their stretch and durability. Polyester is quick-drying and resistant to wrinkles, while elastane provides the stretch. However, high heat can damage elastane fibers, so avoid hot water and high-heat drying to preserve the fabric's shape and stretch.
Fit and Care Steps
- Choose Your Size: Refer to the size chart and pick your usual size. The four-way stretch fabric accommodates movement, so you don't need to size up for comfort. Avoid sizing up: a snug fit prevents chafing during workouts.
- Wash Cold and Gentle: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the water-repellent finish. Check the care label for any specific instructions before first wash.
- Air Dry Only: Hang or lay flat to dry. Skip the dryer to prevent heat damage to the elastane fibers and preserve the stretch and shape of the shorts. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove promptly.
- Store Properly: Fold and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging by the waistband for long periods, as this can stretch the elastic. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
