Frequently Asked Questions

Are these shorts padded?

Yes. They use an Altura women’s-specific 3D Plus multi-density seat pad for supportive saddle comfort.
Are these better than bib shorts?

Not better, just different. Waist shorts are easier to wear, quicker to put on and have no bib straps. Bib shorts usually offer more pad stability for longer rides.
Will the waistband dig in?

The yoga-style deep-fronted waistband is designed to give smooth, accommodating support without digging in.
Will the legs stay in place?

Yes. Deep elastic leg grippers help keep the shorts secure while you ride.
Are they suitable for commuting?

Yes. The no-bib design, supportive pad, wicking fabric and reflective detailing make them well suited to everyday riding.
Is there a warranty on Altura products?

Yes—Altura products are backed by a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty against defects. If you experience an issue, our support team is here to help.
How should I wash my Altura kit?

Machine wash cold at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying to protect technical fabrics.
