With the development of fitness, there are more and more fitness people, and related peripherals and equipment emerge one after another.
Perhaps the original fitness only needed to wear loose shorts, but now amateur runners pursue better in both professional knowledge and equipment accessories.
Today, let’s talk about how to choose real gym shorts from three aspects.
Tip 1: Length
First of all, you should think about whether you are looking for short or medium and long models? Or a long one that covers all your legs? Long ones are the most common in winter. Medium and long ones are more suitable for spring and autumn weather, while short ones are generally worn in sports shorts to prevent our delicate legs from being rubbed by sports shorts in summer.
Tip 2: Fabric
Good gym shorts first depends on the fabric.
Pure cotton doesn’t need to be considered. Running for 5 minutes can help you absorb 1kg of sweat, and then wet drag running is very unqualified in terms of permeability and comfort.
Most of the gym shorts on the market use spandex and other materials, which are very thin and breathable.
Some big brands use breathing fabrics produced by their own companies with unique tailoring to maximize the effectiveness of the materials.
There are many kinds of materials for us to choose from, but no matter what the material is, you should first consider its permeability and your legs don’t feel that hindering your fitness. Of course, there are those with comprehensive materials, and there are even fitness pants made of special materials to protect your skin from ultraviolet radiation.
Some brands also like to use woven fabrics. The crisscross weaving method makes the fabric itself faster drying, crisp and not easy to deform.
“Diligent runners” with a large amount of running can choose high-tech odor proof nano fabrics, which are more refreshing and hygienic.
In addition to ventilation, perspiration and quick drying, good fabrics also need to be wear-resistant and help us maintain a constant body temperature. There is no mistake in choosing the above fabrics.
Tip 3: Tailoring
The tailoring of gym shorts not only refers to the design of style, but also good tailoring can make fitness a very enjoyable thing.
Generally, there are two lengths of gym shorts to choose from: one is the more common knee length, which can be worn for fitness or daily leisure; The other is more professional fitness three-point shorts, which are about the same length as those of professional players.
This length of shorts is very professional to wear on the field, but it is embarrassing to wear everyday.
How to choose, in fact, depends on personal preferences.
In addition, the tailoring of gym shorts also includes many other details:
The small opening design at the trouser legs allows us to have more running space without the phenomenon of shorts sticking to the legs; The hip cutting of shorts needs to take into account the body characteristics of sports people, so as to avoid embarrassing situations such as buttock strangulation and waist hip ratio mismatch due to less hip fabric; Proper use of fluorescent material splicing can make runners safer at night without wearing other reflective materials; Flat stitches shall be used for lining locking, and anti odor and wear-resistant high elastic materials shall be used to avoid crotch rubbing, thigh rubbing, lining roll up, etc.
Tip 4: Pocket
The design of trouser pocket can be said to reflect the essence of gym shorts.
The common side pocket design can no longer meet the needs of runners, because in the process of running, the items in the side pocket are very easy to slide out and fall. When you are running, the headphones, keys and change are all gone, which is very embarrassing.
The latest “fart pocket” design is more praised by runners. A 4 * 4cm zipper fart pocket is added at the hip and waist, which can easily put down the small pieces carried by runners.
And no matter what is stuffed in this position, it will not affect the fitness of both legs.
Some runners may say, why are fart pockets so small that they can’t put the mobile phone?
Some evaluations show that putting a mobile phone with a size greater than iPhone4 in a fart pocket will affect the comfort of runners’ fitness, and sweating for a long time will soak the mobile phone screen. So the fart pocket won’t be designed too big.
Tip 5: Seam
Please always remember that the seams must be flat and the welts of clothes must not protrude, so as to prevent you from abrading your long legs during fitness. Although most fitness tights don’t have this problem now, it’s always good to see more choices and compare these small details before you buy them.
Tip 6: Binding
When choosing sweatpants, ask yourself if these tights fit? Can he bring you a comfortable feeling when you exercise? Won’t you run and slide when you’re working out? Simply put, it is OK to determine whether the width of the waist is appropriate.
