are my shorts ruined?

my roommate put my cycling clothes in the dryer. the shorts dried funny (the chamois dried in a funky way).
are they ruined?

PLEASE SAY NO

Why don't you just try washing the shorts again?

Did she use a different type of detergent as well as the dryer?

By the way, I always throw my cycling shorts in the dryer (on low heat), and the chamois is fine. Check the washing instructions in your shorts - there are probably some that do not tolerate drying, but others do.

well i dampened the chamois a tiny bit and let it dry, and it is fine now. whew!!! well...not leaving those in the garage anymore!
i love living with an 18 yr old. i really do.

Can't be that bad if they wash your clothes... just as long as they stay away from your bike clothes. Perhaps you could talk her/him into just washing dishes and taking out the trash instead? :D

I always dry my cycling shorts in the dryer and have no problems at all. We have PI's, LG's, Performance Bike brand, to name a few.....
