Nike Dri Fit Golf Shorts:  Care & Counterfeit Question

Just got some Nike Dri Fit Golf Shorts.  Have a couple of concern & question.

1.  The product is 95% polyester & 5% spandex.  I normally wash my golf shirts, the same materials, in with my other clothes but hang the shirt to dry & it usually comes out good in terms of not being wrinkled or not shrinking.

The shorts are a little wrinkled when i try to hang them to dry like the shirts.  It says cool iron but what is "cool iron"?  i know polyester material won't do so well with hot stuff.

Can you let me know the proper way to care for them or how you do it?

2.  Are there such things as counterfeit Nike Dri Fit Golf Shorts?  If so, what do I look for in terms of them being counterfeit?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I have some dri fit pants.  I wash them on cold with powder detergent and then hang dry them and the never wrinkle for me.  Cool iron just means you should put your iron on its lowest setting.  Basically you should be able to put your fingers on the iron and not burn them, it should just feel warm.

If you wash your regular clothes in warm water, you really should wash the dri fit stuff separately in cold water.  Warm water washing shortens the lifespan of clothes with any spandex in them.

thanks for the tip on water temperature.  will try washing w/ cool water & see if that will help with the wrinkle.

thanks again.
