Using these IXS Flow cycling bike shorts is easy. Just put them on like regular shorts and adjust the internal waist adjuster for a perfect fit. When you're out on the trails, use the zipped cargo pocket to keep small items like your keys, phone, or energy bars. For maintenance, machine - wash them in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the fabric. Hang them to dry to maintain their shape. Make sure to check the pocket before washing to prevent any items from getting damaged. Also, don't iron the shorts on high heat as it may affect the stretch of the material.
