Features of Mens Tennis Shorts

Length

Most mens tennis shorts fall into lengths from 7 to 9 inches. Depending on your height, these sizes ought to be just above the knee. Longer shorts would be hot and constricting. Shorter shorts may make a comeback someday but today these products are out of style.

Fabric

Most men's tennis shorts are now made from some form of synthetic fabric like polyester. The superior ability to wick away moisture is what makes poly the fabric of choice for most name brand items. 

Why Poly not Cotton?

The old cotton tennis shorts would cling to the body with even a little bit of perspiration. In addition, poly products are easier to wash and will last longer.

Stretch

Shop for fabrics that will give a bit under the exertion of competition. Elastane or Spandex allow shorts to stretch as hard working players try to access the toughest shots.

Pockets

Details like strong pockets are practically a necessity for men's tennis shorts. Most players, whether playing Wimbledon in the United Kingdom, or a pick up game in your local park, use pockets to hold tennis balls that are not in play.

Shop for durable seams so they hold up as you access tennis balls over and over throughout the match. Options exist for products that have pockets either angled or sown straight. There are also different sizes of pockets.

Elastic Waist

The days of belted men's tennis shorts are long over. But elastic is accompanied by a draw string in name brands. 

Why a Draw String?

This may seem like mere detail, but elastic will lose its ability to keep those tennis shorts up after it goes through the wash several times.

Details of Sizes 

Options exist for S to XL in most name brands. XS and XXL or even XXXL exist in some but you may have to shop a bit more to access these sizes in men's tennis shorts.

Name Brands in Mens Tennis Shorts

The best sellers in men's tennis shorts are found in stock in stores in most every major country in the world. When you sort through all the choices here are some of the biggest in terms of sales.

Adidas

With options galore, Adidas is an important name in men's tennis shorts. Lots of sizes in lots of colors and lengths. Men who shop for a name brand will be happy with these guys.

Fila

Sort of a comeback story, Fila has emerged from a relatively quiet time to be a force in tennis products. This company is one where recommendations can never go wrong.

Yonex 

With many options to sort through, Yonex does filter the needs of its customers and makes price sensitive, high quality tennis shorts.

Wilson

Wilson is a 500 pound gorilla in tennis apparel and equipment. This is a brand always worth considering for their quality and value.

Shop for Price?

With so many options, price is one of the considerations. But price is not the only filter. If you shop only for price, you might miss the details you need in shorts.

Watch for clearance sales for the items you want. But when the stock is gone, the sale is over.
