Shorts are mainly a type of garments worn by men and women over the pelvic area, circling the waist and covering the upper part of our legs. Sometimes it might even roll down the knees further. But since it does not cover whole of our legs as in trousers, it is called the shortened form of trousers and better known as Shorts.

Men's sports shorts are the most important clothing which helps him to get that extra mileage over his rivals. Be it any sport involving men, shorts and pants have shown and proven their importance to the player. There are many types of shorts and pants are available for different kinds of sports. Some of them are:

1. Lining: This provides a comfortable feel for the runner as there is minimum number of wicks and avoids chafing.
2. Pockets: It is also very important for a sport short to have at least one pocket so as to help the athlete/player to carry small items, tablets and ID-cards.
