What makes Title Nine running and athletic shorts the best?

We like to say our bottoms always bring it. And we're true believers that T9's shorts for women go the distance--here's why. - We don't do denim (no surprises here) and we definitely don't do fancy pants. Our women's athletic shorts are designed for a purpose (don't worry--they're still flexible enough for any and all adventures). Whether it's hitting the gym, playing sports, practicing yoga, training for a marathon or climbing a crag, we create our athletic shorts with a specific use in mind. - It's all about those fabrics--we spend hours testing the best performance clothing fabrics out there, from quick-dry, breathable, moisture-wicking, high-tech fabrics to loose-fitting, woven casual picks, we always find just the right fabric for the job. - Details, details, details. We sweat the small stuff, like zipper pockets, hidden pockets, sweat-wicking linings, and comfortable elastic waistbands. We take 'em for a spin (and a run, a jump, and a hike) to make sure they're just as great as we promise. - We don't do micro or mini anything. Women who are flipping the script, running the show, and leading the change can't be bothered with clothing that doesn't keep up (or cover up). Our styles let women take action without distraction. - You can always count on a comfortable fit. Every pair of low-rise, mid-rise, and high rise shorts at Title Nine is made for max comfort, so you never have to adjust your shorts while you're crushing a workout, climbing mountains, training for a race, or biking with the kiddos.

What's the difference between running shorts and yoga shorts?

Not all women's workout shorts are created equal, especially in the case of running versus yoga. Running shorts are meant for sweatier workouts, and typically have a looser fit around the legs to give your legs room to move and breathe. Compared to yoga shorts, which have a more body-skimming fit meant to stay put for inversions, bends, and twists. Some yoga bottoms stop sweat, too, but most are designed for less intense practices.

How often should I replace my athletic shorts?

Rips, tears, and a worn-out elastic waistband are signs it's time to swap out your workout shorts. Make sure you've got enough workout shorts in your rotation to avoid over-wearing certain shorts over others.

How do I care for my athletic shorts to make them last longer?

It all comes down to the fabric. Some workout shorts can go in the washer and dryer just fine, where others need to be washed delicately and laid out to dry. Always check the care instructions in your workout shorts, but as a rule of thumb: wash all workout clothing together on your washer's delicate or activewear setting and either hang them or lay them out to air dry.

How do I choose the right material for my athletic shorts?

Some fabrics are better suited for runs, hikes, or lower-impact activities. Spandex, polyester, or nylon are fabrics we see in all types of workout shorts for their sweat-wicking, stretchy, and sport-ready capabilities. Skip the non-performance fabrics like cotton, denim, or linen to avoid chafing and soaking in your own sweat.

How do I choose the right size for my athletic shorts?

Depending on the activity you're getting into, you want to make sure, no matter what, your shorts never slip down. Whether you're looking for loose-fitting run shorts, compressive bike shorts, or waterproof bermuda shorts, make sure they fit comfortably to a T, especially if a lot of movement is involved.
