Quick Answer
For the BOA Women's 3" V-Notch Run Short, choose your usual size based on the size chart, and wash in cold water with like colors, then hang dry to preserve the royal blue color and fit.
Why Size Matters for the V-Notch Design
The 3-inch inseam and V-notch design are meant to give you mobility without extra fabric. A size that is too loose can cause the notch to shift or ride up, while a size too tight may restrict movement. The classic fit runs true to size for most runners, but if you are between sizes, consider your hip measurement and how you like your shorts to sit.
Color Care: Keeping Royal Blue Bright
Royal blue is a vibrant color that can fade with repeated washing, especially in warm water or with harsh detergents. To keep the color looking new, wash inside out in cold water and avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can break down the fabric and dull the dye. Hang drying also helps prevent fading and keeps the elastic from wearing out.
