Running and training shorts

Light, breathable and quick-drying, often with pockets for your phone and keys. A short, airy model for running and heat; a longer, stretchy short for the gym. Look for a comfortable elastic waist and, for evening runs, reflective details.

2-in-1 shorts

The 2-in-1 short combines an airy short with a built-in liner: you get anti-chafing between the thighs and light support, often with extra pockets. Ideal for long runs and comfort.

Half tights and compression shorts

The half tight (compression short) hugs the thigh to support the muscles, aid circulation and prevent chafing. Wear it on its own or under a short. 2XU specializes in compression.

How to choose

Running: a light short, or a 2-in-1 anti-chafing short for long distances.
Gym / HIIT: a stretch short or a half tight.
Heat: a short, airy, quick-dry short.

What is a 2-in-1 short?

An airy short with a built-in liner: you get anti-chafing between the thighs and light support, often with extra pockets. Two pieces in one.

What's the difference between a short and a half tight?

The short is airy and covers more loosely; the half tight (compression short) hugs the thigh to support the muscles and prevent chafing. The 2-in-1 combines a short with a built-in liner.

Do I need a liner under the short?

A built-in liner (in a 2-in-1) prevents chafing between the thighs and gives light support; many prefer it to underwear. On long runs, it clearly reduces irritation.

Which short for running?

A light, breathable, quick-dry short with pockets. A 2-in-1 for anti-chafing on long distances, a half tight for speed and support.

How do I choose my size?

Check the size chart specific to each brand. For a half tight or compression short, choose a snug fit without restriction; for an airy short, go by comfort.
