Unboxing
The Elastic Sport Shorts impress at first glance with their appealing, modern design. The minimalist design with clear lines, neutral colouring and discreet logo creates a modern, sporty look that will impress both in the gym and in everyday life. The mesh inserts on the sides in particular not only add visual accents, but also contribute to the functionality. The workmanship also leaves nothing to be desired: The seams are neat and evenly finished, the material combination of polyester and elastane looks robust yet pleasantly light. The sustainability aspect should also be emphasised: the shorts are certified in accordance with the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, which means that all components – from the fabric to the sewing thread – have been tested for harmful substances and are harmless to health. In combination with the high-quality workmanship, this emphasises the demand for a durable and high-performance product.

As part of our practical test, we tested the Elastic Sport Shorts in detail and documented the results using the specified test methods. The product is particularly impressive due to its high level of comfort. The material feels pleasantly soft on the skin and does not cause any unpleasant chafing or rubbing, even when worn for long periods. Thanks to the elastane content, the trousers adapt flexibly to the shape of the body and always stay in shape, even during intensive movement. The integrated mesh inserts at the sides ensure excellent breathability, allowing moisture to escape quickly and preventing overheating. Even after several training sessions, no unpleasant odours were detected. The unrestricted freedom of movement was particularly positive. The ergonomic cut and the flexible waistband and leg cuffs allow for maximum mobility, whether stretching, bending or stretching. Overall, the Elastic Sport Shorts offer a successful combination of comfort, functionality and durability.
