Training shorts, performance pants or sweatpants?

These three bottoms come from two different fabric families, so start from where and how they will be worn.

01

Two fabric families

Training shorts and performance pants use the lightweight training fabric: 80–90% polyester or polyamide (nylon) with elastane, 180 g/m² up to just below 250 g/m². Sweatpants use 200–400 g/m² fleece in cotton, Huamian cotton (华棉) or polyester. All three run S–5XL.

02

Match the bottom to the activity

Shorts suit training and hot weather; performance pants suit travel, coaching and cooler sessions; sweatpants suit warm-ups, lounge and retail collections.

03

Branding at the back waist

All three are usually branded at the back waist, with left- or right-leg placements also common. Keep artwork clear of pocket openings and the stretchiest areas of the leg.

Questions buyers ask

Which fabric properties matter most for activewear bottoms?

Prioritise stretch recovery, coverage during bending, abrasion resistance and care for the intended activity. Review the waistband, rise and seams on the finished sample; agree any test method and acceptance level before claiming a numeric performance result.

Which movement checks belong in a pants sample review?

Check sitting, stepping, lunging and knee bend in the intended size. Record pulling at the rise, waistband movement, pocket access and hem position, together with the sample measurements.

Can I add a custom logo or print to performance shorts?

Yes. DIY branding is available as a custom logo or print, usually at the back waist; left- or right-leg placements are also common. Confirm on the sample that the artwork clears pockets, seams and high-stretch areas.

What materials, GSM and sizes are confirmed for sweatpants?

Sweatpants are 200–400 g/m², in pure cotton, Huamian cotton (华棉) or polyester with at least 96% of the chosen fibre. The relaxed ready-stock styles run S–5XL with a 1–3 cm tolerance; check the inseam on the washed sample before the size chart is fixed.
