Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good pair of CrossFit shorts?
Good CrossFit shorts need three things: full range of motion for squats and jumps, breathable fabric that handles a sweaty metcon, and durability to survive rope climbs and floor work. An athletic fit that stays put through burpees and box jumps matters more than in most training, because CrossFit moves through so many positions.
What length shorts are best for CrossFit?
Most people train CrossFit in a mid to short inseam, long enough for coverage during floor work, short enough for full movement in squats and jumps. It comes down to preference, so each product page lists its exact inseam. Combat Iron carries shorter and longer options so you can pick what suits your training.
Are Combat Iron CrossFit shorts good for lifting and running too?
Yes. The same qualities that suit CrossFit, range of motion, breathable fabric and an athletic fit, make them work for lifting, conditioning and running. They are built as all-round training shorts rather than for a single movement.
How should CrossFit shorts fit?
They are cut in an athletic fit that runs true to size for most people. Size up for a looser feel or if you are between sizes. Full measurements are on the size guide on each product page.
Will they hold up to rope climbs and floor work?
They are built for exactly that. CrossFit is hard on gear, so the range is made to take repeated floor contact, rope climbs and heavy use without wearing out.
