This leads us to the topic of clothing. <strong>Functional running shorts<\/strong> or <strong>running tights<\/strong> are specially designed for the activity. Such shorts are super comfortable, functional and are brimming with great technical features. But what exactly should you consider when buying running <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/running-trousers\/\">shorts<\/a>? Can you wear your old gym shorts for a short run? Which shorts are best suited for which purpose? Well, you can find the answers to all these questions in this buyer\u2019s guide for running shorts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-need-to-wear-your-old-gym-shorts-as-modern-running-shorts-have-so-much-more-to-offer\">No need to wear your old gym shorts as modern running shorts have so much more to offer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As already mentioned, high-quality running shorts and tights are brimming with so many great features. They\u2019re <strong>super functional<\/strong>, offer <strong>excellent moisture management properties<\/strong> and can keep you comfortable in strenuous moments.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/KPM_4816_2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/KPM_4816_2-e1460979150535-150x150-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bei Laufshorts gibt es die k\u00f6rpernah geschnitte als auch etwas weiter geschnitteneVariante\" class=\"wp-image-28780\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Running shorts can either be tight or loose<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Before getting into their features, let\u2019s first take a look at what types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/running-trousers-tights\/\">running shorts<\/a> are out there. In general, <strong>there are two types of running shorts<\/strong>: <strong>tights, which are form-fitting<\/strong>, and <strong>slightly looser cut models<\/strong>. A good pair of running shorts, regardless of their fit, should be super <strong>breathable<\/strong>. You\u2019re bound to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sweat-rate-calculator\/\">sweat<\/a> whilst running, which is why your shorts should have breathable fabrics that absorb sweat and wick it away to the outside where it can evaporate, keeping you pleasantly dry. At the same time, breathable fabrics also <strong>prevent heat from building up between your clothing and your skin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, people usually wear running shorts in summer, but if the weather takes a turn for the worse, you\u2019ll need to find a good pair of <strong>weatherproof shorts<\/strong>. You can look for special technical fabrics, such as Gore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/softshell-jackets\/\">Windstopper<\/a>, as they provide excellent <strong>protection against the wind<\/strong>. If the fabric is also <strong>water-repellent<\/strong>, then any rain will be kept at bay. In winter, you could also use these shorts as an <strong>insulating layer<\/strong> underneath thick, tightly woven running trousers for extra warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-features-materials-and-comfort\">Other features, materials and comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Form-fitting running shorts and tights have a few extra tricks up their sleeves. For example, their <strong>tight fit improves<\/strong> their <strong>breathability<\/strong> and <strong>moisture-wicking properties<\/strong>. Since the fabric lies directly against your skin, it\u2019s able to immediately absorb your sweat. However, the greatest advantage of tight shorts includes their <strong>compressibility<\/strong>. This effect <strong>stimulates blood circulation<\/strong> and it can <strong>relax your muscles<\/strong>. As a result, it\u2019ll <strong>improve<\/strong> your <strong>performance<\/strong> and <strong>support regeneration<\/strong>. In addition, <strong>it\u2019ll prevent muscle vibrations<\/strong>. These vibrations can cause fine tears in your muscle tissue which, in turn, can cause muscle soreness the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/KPM_5146.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/KPM_5146-e1460978926585-150x150-1.jpg\" alt=\"Auch beim Laufen sind Taschen wichtig, um Wertgegenst\u00e4nde oder Snacks zu verwahren\" class=\"wp-image-28779\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">It\u2019s important to have shorts with pockets to stow away your valuables and some snacks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning on running in low light conditions, then your shorts or tights should have <strong>reflective elements<\/strong>. This will tremendously <strong>increase visibility<\/strong> and <strong>safety<\/strong>. This, along with funky, bright colours will ensure you\u2019re seen from afar. Another important feature that I couldn\u2019t do without is <strong>zipped pockets<\/strong>. You might be surprised to find out that not all running shorts have pockets to offer space for your keys or phone. But, that&#8217;s just a matter of preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s take a look at the fabric. Running shorts and tights are usually made from high-performance <strong>polyester<\/strong>. Plus, since maximum <strong>freedom of movement<\/strong> is so important when running, the fabrics also include <strong>elastane<\/strong>. This makes the fabric <strong>stretchy<\/strong> and prevents it from restricting your movements. Technical cuts, such as the <strong>Formotion cut<\/strong>, are built to conform to your every movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, your tights or shorts should fit you perfectly and shouldn\u2019t slip whilst moving around. It should almost feel like you don\u2019t have anything on while wearing <strong>comfortable<\/strong>, form-fitting shorts. Another great feature includes <strong>flatlock seams which prevent chafing<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve had to deal with poorly finished seams like me, then you know how unpleasant and painful they can become after a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tight-or-loose-short-or-long\">Tight or loose? Short or long?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having so many choices isn\u2019t always a bad thing. If you already know what you like, then choosing new shorts or tights will be a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tight running shorts are breathable, moisture-wicking, compressive, lightweight and offer maximum freedom of movement. However, if you don\u2019t like body-hugging fits, then you can opt for looser models. They\u2019re just as functional, but they won\u2019t have all of the advantages of the narrower models. As for the length, that\u2019ll depend on your personal preference. Typically, you\u2019ll want to wear shorts in hotter temperatures and tights in cooler temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve now covered all the important aspects of running shorts and tights. Hopefully, this buyer\u2019s guide will help you in your decision. Whether you opt for a short or long, tight or loose model, what matters is that running shorts and tights can enhance your performance. I wish you a good run with your new super comfortable shorts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><a class=\"a-button a-button--green block\" title=\"Find running shorts here\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/running-shorts\/\">Find running shorts here&gt;&gt; <\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re training, trail running, jogging or even competing in a marathon or triathlon, running is fun &#8211; it motivates you to beat your personal best and it\u2019s good for your health. ,However, it can also be strenuous, especially while running in hot weather.
