About this deal

To help you choose the length of your running shorts better, I compiled the advantages of the different running short lengths and their recommended use. Length I prefer shorts that have a blend of stretch fabrics such as spandex or elastane in them. This gives the shorts greater flexibility and mobility, ultimately limiting restriction. Inseams: Longer inseams (generally, 7 to 9 inches for men and 4 to 8 inches for women) provide more coverage, which can be beneficial if you’re hitting the trails, want sun protection, or just prefer a modest cut. Shorter inseams (around 3 inches and sometimes even shorter for women) and spandex are great for speed workouts, race day, and runs when you want to feel fast and flash a little thigh.

Depending on the kind of running that you do, you will want to choose a specific type of men's running shorts. Thanks to advancements in fabric technology and design, today’s running shorts are better than ever. Overall, materials are lighter, more comfortable, and offer better mobility. While the various lengths provide a basic idea of the type of shorts you need for your running discipline, there are a number of other features to look out for. There can be, however, some confusion about the purpose of these features, so here’s a look at some of the frequent questions asked… If you’re typically a large, go at least to a medium — maybe even a small. If you struggle to find running shorts with enough volume, these should work really well for you. After months of testing, even years in some cases, we’ve managed to narrow down the best of the best for whatever type of running you’re into. The shorts on this list are the ones we kept reaching for time and time again.Running shorts are so short to allow more range of motion and breathability for the runner. The length of 4-5 inches is highly recommended so you can enjoy the benefits of a short running short while still being modest. The inseam indicates how far down the leg the short sits. It measures the length from the crotch to the end of the shorts and usually comes in 3-inch, 5-inch, and 7-inch options. Liners: Many running shorts come with built-in liners. The advantage here is that you get a built-in pair of underwear, which helps simplify your running outfit, and it provides a snug, supportive fit that wards off chafing and irritation. In addition, some shorts include extra support features, like lululemon’s Out of Mind liner in its Surge Lined Shorts, which keep sensitive body parts from jostling around and rubbing against your thighs as you run. If chafing is an issue for you, pay attention to the fabric and look for a pair of shorts that has a slightly different makeup. Half tights and 2-in-1s are great options for between-the-leg chafing protection. The REI Swiftland shorts are the perfect combination of nylon and spandex; (photo/Cory Smith) Inseam Length

Compression shorts, on the other hand, do not have a cut. Therefore, exposing less skin. Your Height Cory Smith has been a runner since 1992.

In addition to running shorts, he covers road running shoes and GPS watches, and he writes training articles for GearJunkie. While the 100% polyester shell isn’t stretchy, they offer superb freedom of movement thanks to a generous side split. Offered in six sizes, from extra small to extra extra large, we found they fit on the larger side compared to other split shorts we tested. Our tester regularly wears a men’s small and would want an extra small. Choosing a running short largely depends on your preference. However, I recommend you get a length of 4 inches for the women and 5 inches for the men if you want to play it safe.

You may have noticed professional runners opt for 3 inches split shorts when running a marathon. That’s because shorter shorts are lighter, cooler on the body, and offer the most range of motion. However, running in 3-inch shorts when you’re running outdoors outside of a race may look a little too revealing for others. Different running short lengths Running tights are somewhat of an acquired taste, but in the right application, they are far better than running shorts. The best use is when it’s cold and rainy. Wet shorts can get heavy in a downpour and start to feel cumbersome. Tights, on the other hand, stay put when wet and won’t feel as heavy. They also keep your quads and hamstrings warmer on chilly days. Most versatile. Offers a decent range of motion and breathability while still modest to run in public.

Offered in both a three and five-inch inseam, our tester found them to run on the shorter side of five-inch running shorts. Still, thanks to a mild amount of stretch, they never felt constricting. The brief liner offers a decent amount of support and hold for such a lightweight pair of shorts. As mentioned above, compression shorts can be incorporated into traditional shorts to act as a replacement for the inner lining. These are known as 2-in-1 shorts. Compression can contribute to better blood flow, muscle activation, and general comfort.One of the most important considerations with any performance running apparel is the material it’s made from, and shorts are no exception. Sure, you can log miles in your favorite cotton loungewear, but it definitely won’t be a comfortable experience. In general, it’s best to avoid cotton, which is heavy, soaks up moisture, and can cause chafing. Many of our shorts for men’s sports are made from recycled materials, which means your running kit is also good for the planet. Men’s running shorts and more Still, if you’re a die-hard for the comfort of cotton, try a 50-50 blend that pairs it with a second, more sweat-friendly material, like polyester. You’ll still get some of that cottony softness but with added durability and even UV ray protection. How We Selected To give you greater comfort, many of our men’s running shorts provide a supportive inner sprinter, to prevent unwanted movement in your groin area. They also feature adjustable waistbands and side slits for freedom of movement.

Lightweight and breathable the Race Shorts from On Running feature a supportive inner brief, elasticated waistband and zoned perforation to keep you cool, dry and comfortable. Crafted with side slits for a full range of movement on race day.The main reason to squeeze into a pair of 3-inch shorts is the minimal, barely-there race feel that makes you feel like running fast, unencumbered. They’re lightweight, offer loads of ventilation and breathability, plus maximum freedom to move. They can also help reduce chafe risk and they generally come with built-in liner briefs to preserve your dignity and prevent any accidental exposures. When I first bought my running shorts online, I always wondered how they get that 3” measurement. I mean, surely it doesn’t mean that the whole length of the short measures 3 inches, that would be absurd.
