Men's Running Shorts

Men’s running shorts come in many different styles and patterns. They are lightweight and perfect to wear for a wide range of activities.

Next to a good pair of shoes, the other piece of workout gear a runner needs is a pair of running shorts. Running shorts are designed to be comfortable and are popular for all types of physical activities. In addition to running, they can be worn for:

• Volleyball
• Fitness
• Basketball
• Boxing
• Hiking

Running shorts come in different lengths with an inseam of .5" being the shortest and 10" being the longest. A longer short may not be as desirable for running since the motion of running can pull up the shorts on the leg. Many runners prefer a shorter short due to this reason. Polyester is the most common material for running shorts but lycra is becoming a popular choice as well.

Men's running shorts come in a wide variety of colors and some even have prints. Some common features of running shorts for men include:

• Side splits
• Inner brief lining
• Elastic waistband
• Seam pockets

Popular brands of running shorts for men are:
