At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Intensive swim training and water workouts where the 5-inch length and stretchy fabric allow for unrestricted leg movement.
• Coastal travel and beach holidays for individuals who require a quick-drying short that transitions easily to casual land use.
• Eco-conscious athletes looking for high-performance sportswear made from a high percentage of recycled materials.
• Warm weather gym sessions or running due to the integrated Dri-FIT tech and breathable, perforated detailing.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts feature a 5-inch inseam, offering a contemporary athletic fit that sits at the mid-thigh for a streamlined profile.
• The addition of spandex provides a comfortable, stretchy fit that follows the contours of the body without feeling restrictive.
  
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size, as the elasticated waist and exterior drawcord offer ample adjustment for a secure fit.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle up to 30°C to maintain the elasticity of the spandex and the integrity of the recycled fibres.
• Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use in chlorine or salt water to prevent fabric thinning and fading.
• Hang the shorts to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area; the technical fabric and perforated accents are designed for rapid air drying.
• Avoid the use of fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the Dri-FIT moisture-wicking properties and the heat transfer logo.
• Do not iron or dry clean, as high temperatures can compromise the synthetic stretch materials and the built-in mesh liner.
