Men's Running Shorts Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best length for men's running shorts?

An inseam around 12.5 cm is a popular choice in running shorts for men because it offers a balance of coverage and freedom of movement. With a hem that lands on the upper thigh, these shorts are suitable for most running conditions. An inseam of around 18 cm provides more coverage for those who prefer a longer length or are running in cooler conditions. Very short running shorts, with an inseam of 8 cm or less, are good for hot weather and speed workouts, offering maximum breathability and minimal chafing.

Why wear 2-in-1 running shorts?

Two-in-one running shorts offer a practical and efficient solution for many runners. With regular shorts on the outside and close-fitting short tights underneath, this style of running shorts for men offers a combination of comfort, support and versatility. The inner liner helps prevent chafing, while the outer layer offers freedom of movement and a comfortable fit. Some two-in-one shorts also have mesh panels or breathable fabrics to help regulate body temperature.

What is the liner in running shorts for?

Running shorts with a liner make your run better by providing comfort, support and hygiene. The liner helps prevent chafing and irritation, especially during longer runs. It often provides a snug, supportive fit, offering a slightly compressive feel. Many liners are made with materials that draw sweat away from the body, keeping you dry. Many runners prefer to wear lined running shorts without underwear.
