Men's Running Shorts
Many people think that running shorts are just something that you can just go and purchase without any thought. If you've ever gone out on a run in an uncomfortable pair of shorts - you know that's not the case. There are many things to consider in choosing the shorts you run in.
The first thing you need to think about is the material of the shorts. You want to look for a nice, soft fabric that will wick away moisture as you run. You definitely want to stay away from nylon and cotton. Wetness is the leading cause of chafing. So, moisture-wicking is extremely important. I can remember (with a shudder) the nylon shorts that I wore to run in back in the '70s. Running materials have come a long way since then!
Another consideration is if you do or don't wear underwear when you run. If you do not - then you need to make sure that the shorts have a liner built in. Basically, it's a built-in panty. Also, make sure that the liner is made with a moisture-wicking material. I have seen some shorts where it is made of cotton. The next thing you want to think about is the length of your shorts. This is totally a personal choice. Shorts are sold in all sorts of lengths. Many runners are more modest are prefer a longer shorts. Also, if your thighs rub together when you run - longer short is suggested. Some runners wear 2 different lengths - a shorter short when they are doing speedwork, shorter runs, or faster runs. They prefer a long pair for their longer work-outs.
I have listed out a few of my favorite shorts. You can grab them from here:
