The best training short comes down to fit, fabric and inseam. Look for a breathable, moisture-wicking fabric, an athletic fit that stays put under a lift, and an inseam that suits how you train, shorter for range of motion, longer for coverage. Combat Iron's training shorts are built to that spec across a range of lengths for lifting, running and CrossFit.
Shorter inseams give you the most range of motion for squats, lunges and sprints, and run cooler. Longer, mid-thigh inseams give more coverage while still allowing full movement. Combat Iron carries the full range, and each product page lists its exact inseam so you can pick by preference.
For lifting, a shorter inseam and an athletic fit matter most, so nothing catches at the bottom of a squat. Short mesh shorts and Ranger Silkies are popular for leg day for that reason. If you want more coverage while keeping the range of motion, a mid-thigh training short works well.
Look for a cut with more room through the thigh that still tapers cleanly, so it does not ride up mid-set. Combat Iron has a range built specifically for thicker, more muscular legs that solves the ride-up problem without going baggy.
Yes. The breathable fabric and athletic fit suit running and conditioning, and there is a dedicated CrossFit range built for box work, rope climbs and metcons where durability and movement both matter.
They are built for lifting, conditioning, running and general training, anywhere an athletic fit and breathable fabric help you move. Many work just as well as an everyday warm-weather short.
