Key Features
Technical Fabrics
Every pair uses performance materials engineered for movement and moisture control. Quick-drying fabrics pull sweat away from your skin, keeping you comfortable through the toughest sessions. The construction focuses on durability – these bottoms hold their shape wash after wash.
Designed for Movement
Stretchy materials and strategic panelling mean unrestricted range of motion, whether you're dropping into a deep squat or sprinting intervals. Elasticated waistbands with drawcords let you dial in the perfect fit, whilst flatlock seams eliminate irritation during repetitive movements.
Functional Details
Practical touches like secure zip pockets keep essentials safe during training. Reflective elements add visibility for early morning or evening runs. Many styles feature mesh ventilation panels positioned where you need airflow most, helping regulate temperature when sessions heat up.
Versatile Styling
Clean designs and neutral colourways mean these bottoms work beyond the gym. Pair them with hoodies for casual wear or layer under shorts for outdoor winter training. The minimalist aesthetic suits any training environment whilst the performance features keep you moving comfortably.

FAQs
How do Myprotein men's bottoms fit?
Most styles run true to size with a regular athletic fit that allows movement without excess fabric. The 2-in-1 shorts feature a closer-fitting compression layer beneath a relaxed outer short. If you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. Check the size guide on each product page for specific measurements.
What's the difference between the 5-inch and 7-inch shorts?
The 5-inch inseam sits higher on the thigh, offering maximum leg mobility – particularly popular for running and cardio-focused training. The 7-inch length provides more coverage and suits those who prefer a longer short for lifting, cross-training, or general gym work. Both lengths deliver the same technical features and performance fabrics.
Can I tumble dry these bottoms?
Air drying is recommended to maintain the technical properties of the fabrics and extend the life of the garments. The quick-drying materials mean most pieces dry within a few hours when hung. If you must use a dryer, select a low heat setting and remove promptly to prevent any potential shrinkage.
Are the 2-in-1 shorts suitable for running?
Absolutely. The compression inner layer stays secure during running whilst the outer short provides coverage and usually includes pocket storage for essentials. Many runners prefer this style for the added security during longer distances or interval sessions. The moisture-wicking fabric handles sweat effectively across all cardio activities.
Who designs Myprotein's men's bottoms?
All pieces come from Myprotein's in-house design team, who develop each style with specific training applications in mind. The team tests prototypes in real training environments to ensure the technical features and construction details actually perform under demanding conditions.
How should I care for technical training bottoms?
Machine wash in cold water with similar colours and avoid fabric softener, which can reduce moisture-wicking performance. Turn garments inside out before washing to protect any reflective details. Hang to dry rather than tumbling, and skip the iron – the technical fabrics don't need it and heat can damage their performance properties.
Do these bottoms work for both gym and casual wear?
Many styles transition easily between training and everyday wear. The clean designs and neutral colourways suit casual settings, whilst the performance features remain ready for your next session. Joggers and track pants particularly work well for this dual purpose, though the shorts can easily pair with a casual tee for relaxed weekend wear.
What makes the woven shorts different from other styles?
Woven fabrics offer a different feel and drape compared to knit materials – they're typically lighter and provide a crisp, structured look. These shorts excel in warmer conditions and high-output sessions where breathability is key. The fabric construction also tends to be more durable against abrasion, making them ideal for outdoor training or workouts involving floor contact.
