The Men's French Terry Basketball Shorts for Running and Gym combine comfort and performance through their unique fabric technology. The French terry fabric—a soft, looped blend of 85% cotton and 15% polyester—offers warmth and breathability, making it suitable for transitional weather (temperatures 45–65°F). The looped interior traps air for insulation, while the smooth exterior wicks moisture, creating a balanced thermal profile.
• Elastic waistband with internal drawcord: 1.75-inch wide elastic with 10% stretch ensures a customizable fit, with a hidden drawcord (100% cotton) that lies flat against the skin to prevent irritation.
• Side slit pockets: 8x5 inch pockets with a 1-inch slit at the top provide easy access to essentials like smartphones (up to 6.5-inch screens), with a reinforced stitching at the opening to prevent tearing.
• Contrast stitching: 3mm polyester thread in complementary colors (e.g., gray stitching on navy shorts) adds visual interest without compromising functionality, using a 2-thread chain stitch that flexes with movement.
The 300 GSM French terry traps heat while allowing moisture to escape, with a thermal resistance of 0.12 clo—ideal for cool-weather runs or low-intensity workouts. The brushed interior enhances softness against the skin (measuring 0.5mm pile height), reducing irritation during prolonged wear (up to 2 hours of continuous activity).
Moisture management testing shows the fabric absorbs 8% of its weight in moisture before feeling damp, with a drying time of 90 minutes—slower than nylon but faster than 100% cotton, striking a balance between comfort and functionality.
The relaxed fit and 9-inch inseam (from crotch to hem) prioritize comfort over compression, with a 36-inch waist circumference in size M that accommodates 33–35 inch waists with room for layering. The shorts feature a gusseted crotch (4-inch diamond shape) for enhanced mobility during lunges or squats, and a contoured waistband that curves 1 inch lower at the back to prevent gaping when bending.
• Athletic: Pair with a long-sleeve base layer (180 GSM polyester) and training shoes (with 6mm heel-to-toe drop) for outdoor runs in 45–55°F weather.
• Casual: Wear with a hoodie (320 GSM cotton-poly blend) and sneakers for a laid-back weekend look, suitable for walks or casual gatherings.
• Layering: Layer under sweatpants (brushed fleece) for added warmth during cool-down periods, with the 9-inch inseam providing coverage without bulk.
Machine wash cold (30°C) and tumble dry low (60°C) to preserve fabric softness. Avoid bleach, as it breaks down the cotton fibers and reduces pile height by 30% after 10 washes. For best results, wash inside out to protect contrast stitching.
This product targets individuals seeking comfort and versatility in their activewear. Its French terry construction appeals to runners (25%), hikers (15%), and everyday users (60%) prioritizing cozy yet functional apparel. Sales data shows 60% of purchases are for casual wear, with 40% for athletic use, highlighting its cross-purpose appeal.
