Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts feature a technical 2-in-1 fit with a supportive inner and a relaxed outer shell
• The integrated thigh-highs are designed to provide a firm, compression-like feel
• The garment fits true to size for a professional athletic silhouette
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size, as the elastic properties of the inner liner accommodate various leg shapes comfortably

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle to protect the bio-sourced polyester and the inner liner
• Use a mild, non-biological detergent to maintain the fabric's technical performance
• Close the rear zipper before washing to ensure it does not snag the lightweight materials
• Hang to dry naturally, which occurs rapidly due to the technical nature of the ShellLight fabric
• Avoid the use of fabric softeners or tumble dryers to prevent damage to the elastic fibres

ACT ShellLight 2-in-1 Shorts - Our FAQs

1. How supportive is the integrated inner liner?
   The inner shorts are designed to provide a snug, secure fit that reduces muscle vibration and completely eliminates the risk of chafing, even over ultra-distances.

2. What is the benefit of using cocoa husks in the fabric?
   By repurposing organic waste from the food industry, ACT creates a bio-sourced polyester that performs exactly like traditional synthetics but with a much lower reliance on petroleum.

3. Can I fit a phone in the patch pocket on the inner shorts?
   The patch pocket on the cycling shorts is designed for stability. While it can fit smaller devices or gels, very large modern smartphones may be better suited to a dedicated running belt.

4. Will the 2-in-1 design feel heavy when wet?
   No, both the inner and outer layers are engineered to be hydrophobic, meaning they shed water and sweat quickly to remain light throughout your run.
