These Crossline women's teal shorts are easy to use. Just put them on like any regular shorts. When you're out for a race or a trail ride, you can use the front pockets to store small items like keys or cards, and the locking zipper will keep them safe. The elastic side adjusters and waist adjusters allow you to get a perfect fit. As for maintenance, you can machine - wash them in cold water. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the fabric. Hang them up to dry using the back yoke rope. And that's it! You're all set to enjoy your active time with these great shorts.
