Shorts

Frequently Asked Questions

• What’s the difference between padel shorts and regular sports shorts?

  Padel shorts are specifically designed for intense padel matches, offering more flexibility, comfort and breathability. They often feature a shorter cut to aid in movement, as well as mesh panels for ventilation and pockets designed for padel balls. Regular sports shorts, however, are intended for more general use, which may affect performance. Additionally, regular shorts won’t have the same moisture-wicking ability which could lead to discomfort during intense matches. 

• What is the best way to care for my padel shorts?

  We always recommend following the care instructions on your padel shorts label. It’s best to machine wash your padel shorts in a cooler setting and avoid using fabric conditioners. This will ensure your padel shorts maintain their shape, and continue to provide moisture-wicking for those high-intensity games. Additionally, we recommend air-drying your padel shorts, as this will help prevent the elasticity from weakening over time from tumble drying.

• Are padel shorts lightweight?

  Padel shorts are designed to provide you with maximum comfort and freedom of movement. Typically, they are made from materials like polyester, nylon, or elastane, which are lightweight and stretchable. These fabrics allow you to move quickly and easily around the court.

  To perform at your best, padel brands design padel shorts to be lightweight. The reason for this is to provide players with a comfortable short that allows them to feel unrestricted during their game. The materials these padel brands often use are polyester, nylon, or elastane.
