Padel shorts with pockets – why they are indispensable on the court
It might sound like a small detail, but the pockets in your padel shorts can make a big difference when you're on the court. Functionality and comfort go hand in hand, and that's precisely why it's important to choose padel shorts that match both your needs and the pace of the game.
Why are pockets so important?
In padel tennis, it's often necessary to have an extra ball ready – especially if you play at a high pace or train intensively. Shorts with pockets allow you to store the ball safely and easily, so you don't have to interrupt the game to fetch a new one.
Padel shorts for men
For men, freedom of movement is paramount. A pair of lightweight padel shorts with side pockets are ideal – preferably with an elastic waistband and moisture-wicking material. Go for shorts that aren't too tight and that follow the body's movements.
Padel shorts for women
Women can benefit from choosing shorts with inner shorts and practical pockets. Combine them with an airy top or a close-fitting t-shirt for maximum comfort and freedom of movement. See, for example, our selection of tights and short shorts, which many also use for padel.
What else should you look for?
In addition to pockets and fit, it's an advantage to choose shorts with:
- Ventilation or mesh panels
- Moisture-wicking material
- Elastic waistband with drawstring
- Flat seams to avoid irritation
