Sport Shorts

Two Layers in One – The Solution Against Chafing

The most common type of sport shorts today are 2-in-1 models that combine loose, breathable outer shorts with an integrated inner layer (short leggings or shorts). The inner layer acts as a barrier against chafing, hugging the skin and wicking moisture, while the looser outer layer ensures airflow and a subtle look – the ideal combination, especially for long distances or hot and humid weather.

What to Focus on When Choosing

• Inner Compression Layer: Provides gentle muscle support while maintaining discretion – no one will know you have another layer under your shorts.
• Practical Details: Zip pockets for keys or phone and reflective elements for visibility in low light are standard features of running shorts.
• Pure Compression Shorts: Without the loose outer layer, designed primarily for strength training or functional fitness, where muscle support is key.

Which Sport They Are Suitable For

The 2-in-1 shorts are ideal for long-distance running, where chafing is a concern. For Hyrox and fitness, the pure compression variant or looser shorts without the inner layer are more suitable, depending on the type of training. For padel, opt for a looser, sporty-elegant cut without the compression layer, allowing for quick direction changes.
