FAQs
What Makes a Good Pair of Women’s Gym Shorts?
A good pair of gym shorts combines several design notes to result in something functional, breathable, practical, and comfortable. Given gym sessions are all about sweating it out, you want gear that’s going to let you perform at your peak.
Some key features to good gym shorts include:
- Breathable and/or moisture-wicking materials: Stay cooler and drier during workouts for longer - and if you do happen to sweat it out more, it won’t be long until your gym shorts are dry again.
- Stretch: You want your gym shorts to have a solid degree of stretch and flexibility. No need to deal with restrictive fabrics or materials that limit your manoeuvrability.
- Secure, adjustable waistband: Sure, it may seem obvious, but never underestimate the importance of being able to secure your gym shorts. Not only does it help you maintain ease of movement, but it can support your core as well.
- Liners/compression layers: Internal liners provide additional coverage and support, which can also help reduce the likelihood of chafing, wick away moisture, and improve your overall comfort during higher impact activities.
Can I Wear Running Shorts for All Types of Workouts?
Generally speaking, our range of running shorts will also suit other workouts, especially those that don’t place excessive stress on the materials. Think the gym, track and field, general running and cross-country workouts.
One thing to be mindful of is that running shorts may not be best for workouts or activities where friction or physical impacts occur. This could include taking part in sports like soccer, rugby, basketball or any other code where physical contact is a core or incidental factor. For these, we’d highly recommend purchasing purpose-designed basketball shorts or football shorts/pants.
Which PUMA Shorts Offer Breathable Fabric for Hot Days?
The good news is you’ll find that the vast majority of our women’s shorts are made from breathable fabrics or utilise moisture-wicking technology to keep you comfortable even on the hottest days of the year.
Along with several shorts that use cotton as the main material, a significant number of our women’s shorts utilise PUMA’s proprietary moisture-wicking technology, dryCELL. This similarly applies to our shorts that utilise different synthetics.
Overall, you’ll find that most of the women’s shorts at PUMA provide exceptional breathability year-round.
