What types of women's shorts does ASRV offer?
The women's shorts collection spans Tetra-Lite® Liner and Linerless training shorts, Tetra-Lite® Adventure shorts, Aerotex™ Side Split Run shorts, LYCRA® Ribbed shorts, and LYCRA® 3-in-1 and ADAPTIV biker shorts.
What is Tetra-Lite® fabric and why do we use it in women's shorts?
Tetra-Lite® is our signature 4-way stretch fabric: lightweight, incredibly stretchy, water-repellent, and durable. A DWR finish offers reliable water resistance in light rain. It is our most popular fabric range of all time.
What makes the Tetra-Lite® Liner Short different from the Linerless version?
The Liner Short includes a built-in WarpFlexx® liner with two media pockets for bounce-free storage, mesh ventilation zones, and Fuze® anti-odor technology. The Linerless Short omits the liner for runners and lifters who prefer a cleaner feel.
How are the built-in liner pockets designed to hold a phone during a run?
The WarpFlexx® liner integrates two dedicated media pockets positioned to keep a phone secure and bounce-free during running and high-intensity training. Fuze® anti-odor technology keeps the liner fresh over repeat sessions.
Are the LYCRA® Ribbed Shorts compressive?
Yes. The LYCRA® Ribbed Short uses a high-stretch, mild-compression Lycra® fabric with quick-dry capabilities. An oversized jacquard waistband and ergonomic back-yoke panel provide sculpted support through intense movement.
Which shorts work best for running versus lifting?
For running, the Aerotex™ Side Split Run Short and the Tetra-Lite® Liner Short offer ventilation, lightweight feel, and secure liner storage. For lifting, the LYCRA® Ribbed Short and LYCRA® biker shorts provide mild compression and sculpted support.
How should women's shorts be washed to preserve the fabric and prints?
Turn products inside out, machine wash cold with like colors, and use a clear detergent without synthetic dyes. This protects the DWR finish on Tetra-Lite® shorts and the stretch and recovery of Lycra® fabrics.
What external storage do the Tetra-Lite® Liner Shorts offer beyond the liner pockets?
The Tetra-Lite® shell includes a zippered back pocket for cards or keys and a towel loop for a shirt or hand towel. Reinforced tack-seam side splits allow a full range of motion.
