Nike Pro 3" Shorts - Black

Dri-FIT is Nike's proprietary technology designed to move sweat away from your skin to the fabric's surface, where it quickly evaporates. This helps keep you dry and comfortable during physical activity.

Yes, their sweat-wicking properties, stretchy fabric, and secure fit make them ideal for a wide range of sports including running, training, dance, and as a base layer for team sports.

These shorts are versatile. They can be comfortably worn alone, especially in warmer conditions or for activities like dance and gymnastics. They also perform excellently as a base layer under other athletic wear.

Machine wash them cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle. To protect the fabric and Dri-FIT technology, avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry.

The shorts are made from 83% Polyester and 17% Elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and moisture management.

While they have a 'tight fit' and provide support, they are not specifically marketed as compression shorts. The elastane content does offer a supportive, body-hugging feel that aids in muscle stability.

While these shorts feature a 'tight fit' design, ensure you have selected the correct size according to Nike's size chart. If they still feel restrictive, consider wearing them primarily as a base layer under looser garments or for activities where a compressive fit is beneficial.

Ensure the shorts are clean, as residue from fabric softeners or detergents can block the wicking properties. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Also, wearing cotton underwear underneath can hinder the shorts' ability to wick moisture away from your skin.

Improper care, such as washing in hot water or using harsh chemicals, can damage the elastane fibers. Always follow the recommended machine wash cold, gentle cycle, and air dry instructions to help maintain the fabric's elasticity and shape.

The tight fit and elasticated waistband are designed to minimize this. Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly. If riding up persists, verify the size, as an incorrect size can sometimes contribute to this issue. For high-impact activities, pairing them as a base layer might offer more stability.
