Padel shorts for men and women – how to choose the right pair
The right pair of padel shorts can make a big difference to your comfort and performance on the court. But what should you look for, and is there a difference between shorts for men and women? We'll guide you to the right choice here – whether you're new to padel or an experienced player.
What should padel shorts be able to do?
Padel requires quick movements, changes of direction, and sweat management. Therefore, your shorts should be:
- Lightweight and quick-drying
- Flexible and without irritating seams
- Equipped with practical pockets for balls
- Comfortable – both during matches and warm-ups
Padel shorts for men
Men's padel shorts often have a looser fit and side pockets. Many prefer a model with an elastic waistband and drawstring to ensure good freedom of movement and adjustment during play. See our selection of shorts for men here.
Padel shorts for women
Women often focus on both fit and style. Many choose shorts with inner shorts or a close-fitting model that doesn't ride up during play. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable, can move freely – and have space for the ball. Explore our tights and short shorts for women.
Materials and features you should choose
Regardless of gender, you should choose materials that are:
- Moisture-wicking and breathable
- Elastic and adapted for movement
- Lightweight fabrics with quick-drying properties
