Squash shorts

Squash shorts on offer at the Sportano shopThe game of squash requires fast, dynamic movements, turns and changes of direction. For this reason, proper attire, including shorts, is essential for maximum performance and comfort during the game. Ill-fitting shorts can cause discomfort, limit the range of movement or cause irritation, which affects the quality of play and satisfaction. In the assortment of the Sportano shop you will find high quality squash shorts from renowned brands such as HYDROGEN, Lacoste, Joma, Babolat, HEAD or YONEX.Construction and materials: which fabrics dominate in the squash shorts?Modern squash shorts are the result of many years of research and innovation in sports fabric technology. The main aim is to provide the player with optimum freedom of movement, breathability and comfort. The predominant materials in squash shorts include: Polyester: this is the most commonly used material in sportswear. Thanks to its properties, it is lightweight, durable and wicks away moisture well, keeping you feeling dry even during intense exercise. Elastane: often added to polyester to increase the elasticity of shorts. It makes the fabric more flexible, allowing for a better fit and freedom of movement. Microfibre fabrics: these are fabrics made of ultra-fine fibres that provide excellent breathability and quick drying. Cut and comfort: which cuts are the most popular? When it comes to cut and comfort, squash shorts are designed to meet the specific needs of the player on court. Among the popular cuts we find: Standard cut: these shorts usually reach just above the knee and offer excellent freedom of movement. These are the most versatile shorts found on most players. Shorter shorts: some players prefer shorter models that reach around mid-thigh, as they offer even greater freedom of movement. Leg length and shape: some shorts have legs that are a little more fitted to the body, while others are more loose. The choice depends on the player's personal preference. Regardless of the cut, the key is that the shorts should be loose enough to allow a full range of movement, but at the same time fit snug enough not to hinder the player or cause discomfort during play.Additional features: pockets, strings and more for comfortAdditional features in the squash shorts, such as pockets, strings or other elements, significantly increase the comfort and practicality of these garments. Although the game of squash itself requires minimalist equipment, properly designed shorts can provide additional benefits. Pockets are often seen as a key accessory for many players. They allow for storage of small items such as squash balls and locker keys. However, it is important that they are properly designed so that items do not get in the way during play. Strings are another important element in squash shorts. They allow the shorts' circumference to be individually adjusted to the player's waist, ensuring stability and wearing comfort. If there is a lot of movement on the court, properly tied strings prevent the shorts from slipping. Other features such as elastic straps, mesh panels or small ventilation holes also contribute to the wearing comfort. These additions ensure better ventilation, moisture wicking and the overall fit of the shorts to the player's silhouette. In summary, while the primary function of squash shorts is to provide freedom of movement, additional features such as pockets, strings or specialised details can significantly enhance a player's comfort and performance on court. The right combination of these features creates the perfect squash shorts that are not only practical but also stylish.
