The Unbeatable Benefits of Our Men's Activewear Shorts
Our men's gym shorts and performance shorts are packed with features that cater to the needs of an active individual.
Fit & Inseam Length:
- Relaxed Fit vs. Athletic Fit: Your choice here often comes down to personal comfort and the demands of your activity. Relaxed fits, like those in our Men's Relaxed Shorts, offer more room and a casual feel. Athletic or "True Fit" options (as seen in our website filters ) provide a more streamlined silhouette that stays closer to the body, potentially reducing distractions during dynamic movements.
- Inseam Length (e.g., 7 inches vs. 8 inches): Our range includes various inseam lengths to cater to different preferences and activities. For example, our Men's Athletic Mesh Shorts feature a 7-inch inseam, offering a balance of coverage and freedom of movement. The Men's Relaxed Shorts come with an 8-inch inseam, providing a versatile length suitable for a broader range of activities. Consider what length feels most comfortable and functional for your typical movements.
Material & Features:
- Fabric Technology: Pay attention to the fabric composition, as it dictates many of the shorts' performance characteristics. Look for breathable materials, moisture-wicking capabilities to draw sweat away from the skin, and quick-dry properties for comfort during and after exercise. Our Athletic Mesh shorts, for instance, utilise a high-performance blend of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane , while our Relaxed Shorts might incorporate a mix of Polyester, Cotton, and Elastane for a balance of comfort, durability, and stretch.
- Waistband: A secure and comfortable waistband is crucial. All our featured shorts include an elastic waistband complemented by a drawstring, allowing for a personalised and secure fit that stays in place during activity.
- Pockets: The inclusion and type of pockets can be a significant factor. While pocket details vary by style, many athletic shorts are designed with functionality in mind. Some styles may feature open side pockets for convenience, while others might offer zip pockets for secure storage of essentials like keys or a phone. Always check the specific product details on each product page for information on pocket availability and type to ensure they meet your needs.
Sustainable Focus: We are committed to mindful production, incorporating reusable materials and practices aimed at minimising waste and reducing our carbon footprint where possible, reflecting our dedication to sustainability.
How to Choose Your Perfect Pair: A Guide to Lightweight Athletic Shorts
