The design details of sports shorts are rich and diverse, covering various aspects such as fabric, silhouette, pockets, waist, etc. Here are some common design details:
Fabric selection
Quick drying material: It often uses a blend of polyester fiber and spandex fabric. Polyester fiber can quickly absorb and evaporate sweat, while spandex gives the shorts elasticity, allowing the wearer to move freely.
Ice sensation technology: Some shorts use ice sensation technology, which can quickly transfer the ice sensation when the fabric comes into contact with the skin, accelerate the heat transfer on the skin surface, and keep cool.
Breathable mesh: Some shorts use honeycomb shaped quick drying fabric or add laser punching technology to form a breathable mesh, covered with fine breathable holes, which can quickly dissipate moisture and heat, avoiding stuffiness and stickiness.
Pattern design
Pant length selection: Common lengths include 3.5 inches, 5 inches, 7 inches, etc. The length of 3.5 inches pants is just right up to the middle of the thigh, with low wind resistance when running; The 7-inch pants are located above the knees to avoid friction with knee pads and are suitable for various sports.
Stereoscopic cutting: Using stereoscopic cutting technology, the inner lining is tailored to fit the curves of the buttocks, allowing the wearer to feel moderate support while exercising without feeling constrained.
Side slit: Some shorts are designed with double side slits, which increase the space for movement and make the legs more free during exercise.
pocket design
Slanted pockets: The pants are equipped with large capacity slanted pockets on both sides for convenient placement of mobile phones, keys, and other items. The pockets are also equipped with zippers to prevent items from falling off.
Hidden zipper pockets: Hidden zipper pockets are gradually replacing traditional patch pockets, maintaining the streamlined appearance of pants while avoiding items from shaking while running.
Back waist storage layer: Some shorts have a hidden storage layer at the back waist, which can hold small items such as energy glue and access cards.
waist design
Elastic waistband with drawstring: Adopting a widened elastic waistband with drawstring design, the widened elastic waistband disperses pressure, and the drawstring can freely adjust the tightness of the pants.
Dual adjustment system: Some high-end models have upgraded their waist adjustment system to a dual design of drawstring and detachable buckle, which can adapt to different waist sizes while avoiding loose knots.
Other details
Reflective elements: To improve night running safety, some shorts add reflective prints or logos on both sides of the pants, which can reflect light when illuminated at night.
Flat stitching technique: Using flat stitching technique, the stitching on the pants is smooth and delicate, without rubbing against the inner thigh skin.
Antibacterial lining: The lining material has been changed from ordinary mesh fabric to antibacterial quick drying honeycomb structure fabric, which can reduce the odor generated by long-term exercise.
