Using this G - Form Men's Pro - X3 Bike Short Liner is easy. Just put it on like regular bike shorts before your ride. It'll keep you protected and comfortable throughout. Remember, the SmartFlex™ protection is designed to work best when you're in motion. During your ride, if you happen to fall or have an impact, the pads will harden to protect you. For maintenance, since the pads are waterproof, you can simply throw the liner in the washing machine as needed. But make sure to follow the regular washing instructions on the label. Don't use harsh chemicals as it might damage the fabric and the pads. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place. This way, you can keep your bike short liner in great shape and ready for your next adventure.
