How to use: Simply put on the shorts and adjust the waistband to your comfort. The pockets are great for storing small items like your phone, keys, or energy bars while you're on the trail. Make sure to wear knee pads that can overlap with the shorts for added protection. Things to note: Avoid wearing these shorts in extremely rough conditions that could tear the fabric. When using the pockets, don't overstuff them to prevent the fabric from stretching out. Maintenance advice: Wash the shorts in cold water with mild detergent. Hang them to dry instead of using a dryer to preserve the shape and elasticity of the fabric.
