Knee length gym shorts for men
Knee length gym shorts for men at SITR.
Knee length gym shorts for men that cover the awrah, from above the navel to below the knee. SITR. makes two styles: the Long Fit, one loose layer with the hem just below the knee, and the 2-in-1 Short, loose outer shorts with a sewn-in compression legging to below the knee. Both cost €39.99, come in sizes S to XXXL and are matte black.
What makes these shorts awrah covering?
Most sports shorts get two things wrong: the waistband and the length. A typical band sits at or below the navel and drops when you bend over, and a leg that reaches the knee when you stand rides above it as soon as you squat. Our waistband is about 13 cm high and double layered, with a braided drawcord, so your navel sits inside the band and stays there when you squat, deadlift or hang from the bar. The leg runs past the knee and is closed, with no split or slit to open up as you move. Our guide to awrah for men explains more.
Long Fit or 2-in-1 Short?
Choose the Long Fit if you want one layer and as little fabric against your legs as possible. Choose the 2-in-1 Short if you like compression, or want a legging that cannot ride up, even at the bottom of a deep squat. The coverage is identical; only the feel changes. Our comparison of the two goes through it point by point.
Fabric and fit
Both styles are made from a matte technical weave of 96% polyester and 4% elastane, with 4-way stretch. The fabric is light, quick-drying and not see-through when wet, so the same pair works for strength training, calisthenics, running and the pool. The side pockets have concealed zips, and the only branding is one small white embroidered logo on the leg. SITR. fits true to size, and the size guide gives the measurements for each size.
