How to use: Just put on these pants like you would any regular pair of pants. Make sure to adjust the waist using the hook and loop webbing to get a comfortable fit. If you start to feel too warm while cycling, unzip the thigh vents. When you need to access your stuff, reach into the side - access rear pockets. Note: Don't machine - wash these pants too frequently as it may affect the water - resistant property. Also, make sure the zippers are fully closed before putting them in the washing machine. Maintenance: After each use, if they're dirty, gently wipe them down with a damp cloth. For a more thorough clean, follow the washing instructions on the label. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
