These styles come from the May 2026 mens activewear catalog. - **M0001 · Lightweight Woven Training Shorts** (140 GSM · 90.8% Nylon / 10.2% Spandex) — Elastic waistband with adjustable drawcord, side pockets, quick-dry comfort, and a relaxed fit for training or travel. Colors: Off White, Olive Green, Black, Royal Blue, Glacier Grey - **M0002 · Outdoor Cargo Utility Shorts** (140 GSM · 90.8% Nylon / 10.2% Spandex) — Elastic waistband, functional cargo pocket design, and lightweight outdoor feel for hiking, travel, and everyday wear. Colors: Glacier Grey, Khaki, Black, Smoke Brown - **M0003 · Multi-Pocket Performance Shorts** (115 GSM · 88% Nylon / 12% Spandex) — Multiple zipper pockets, elastic waistband, smooth woven texture, and quick-dry feel for training, running, and outdoor use. Colors: Blue, Green ## Your shorts mix can cover cargo, running, track, and training. One page should match how buyers search: wholesale shorts as the core phrase, then the shorts types they add to the RFQ. - **Cargo Shorts** — Use M0002 when your buyer wants visible storage, utility styling, and outdoor positioning without a full new tech pack. - **Running Shorts** — Use M0001 when your buyer needs lightweight woven fabric, adjustable drawcord, and a quick-dry training fit for running programs. - **Track Shorts** — Use M0003 when secure zipper pockets and a multi-pocket performance build matter more than a basic training silhouette. - **Training Shorts** — Use M0001 for gym training, travel, and warm-weather activewear where quick-dry comfort is the main brief. ## Your fabric and pocket spec decide the right shorts base. The catalog data keeps the first quote realistic: choose the blend, pocket system, waistband, and use case before asking for price. | Style | Fabric Blend | Construction | Best For | GSM | |--------|---------|---------|----------|------| | M0001 Training Shorts | 90.8% Nylon / 10.2% Spandex | Elastic waistband, adjustable drawcord, side pockets | Training shorts, running shorts, travel basics | 140 GSM | | M0002 Cargo Utility Shorts | 90.8% Nylon / 10.2% Spandex | Elastic waistband, functional cargo pocket design | Cargo shorts, hiking, outdoor utility | 140 GSM | | M0003 Multi-Pocket Shorts | 88% Nylon / 12% Spandex | Multiple zipper pockets, elastic waistband | Track shorts, gym shorts, outdoor training | 115 GSM | ## Your custom athletic shorts can go beyond the stock base. Use stock styles for speed, or move to custom development when your buyer needs a specific liner, inseam, pocket, or branding setup. - **Waistband + Drawcord** — Control elastic tension, drawcord color, cord tips, internal branding, and size-grade comfort before bulk cutting. - **Pocket System** — Choose clean side pockets, cargo pockets, or zipper pockets depending on whether the order is gym, travel, or outdoor focused. - **Liner or No Liner** — Add a brief liner or compression liner when the RFQ asks for running and training shorts with extra support. - **Logo, Labels, Packaging** — Add heat transfer, embroidery, woven labels, care labels, hangtags, polybags, barcode stickers, and carton marks. ## Your next bottoms page should match the buyer intent. Shorts buyers often source adjacent bottoms, so connect the RFQ to the right page instead of forcing every inquiry through one form. - **Custom Sportswear** — Use this when your athletic shorts change inseam, liner, pocket engineering, or fabric beyond M0001-M0003. - **Private Label Sportswear** — Use this when your shorts are close to stock bases and the main work is logo, labels, hangtags, and retail packaging. - **For Brands** — Use this when your team needs seasonal sourcing, repeat buys, and a factory workflow for multiple activewear styles. - **Joggers Manufacturer** — Use this when your bottoms program also includes fleece sweatpants, woven training pants, or hoodie + jogger sets. ## Quality Benchmarks | Metric | Value | Detail | |--------|-------|--------| | Pantone color match | Lab-matched | Measured against your approved reference swatch | | Shrinkage control | Pre-shrunk | Pre-shrunk fabrics, wash-tested before bulk cutting | | Color fastness | Wash / rub / light tested | Tested for wash, rub, and light exposure | | Pre-shipment inspection | Final inspection | Major and minor defects sampled before shipment | ## Lead Times | Stage | Timeline | |-------|----------| | Sample | 7–14 days | | Bulk (300–3,000 pcs) | 25–35 days | | Reorder | 15–25 days | ## FAQ ### What inseam lengths do you offer for gym shorts? Standard options are 5-inch and 7-inch inseam. The 5-inch inseam suits training, CrossFit, and running. The 7-inch inseam is preferred for team sports and casual gym wear. Custom lengths from 4-9 inches are available at MOQ 300 pieces per length. ### What is the difference between mesh-lined and unlined shorts? Mesh-lined shorts have an inner brief layer sewn in, typically 100% polyester mesh, eliminating the need for separate underwear. Unlined shorts are a single layer, lighter and cooler, requiring compression shorts underneath. Mesh lining adds approximately $0.80-1.20 per unit in cost. ### What fabrics are best for athletic shorts? 100% polyester or polyester-spandex (92/8) are standard for moisture-wicking performance. Nylon-spandex is lighter and more durable but costs more. Cotton-blend shorts are available for lifestyle or casual positioning. Fabric weight for shorts typically runs 130-180 gsm. ### What pocket options are available on gym shorts? Side seam open pockets are standard. Zip pockets at the back or sides add $0.60-1.00 per unit. Zippered side pockets are the most-requested upgrade for running and outdoor use. Phone-sized pockets (minimum 4x7 inches) can be specified in the tech pack. ### Can shorts be sublimation printed? Yes. Shorts made from 100% polyester are fully compatible with dye-sublimation printing. All-over prints are cut-and-sew after printing, so seams interrupt the pattern. Design files must be supplied at 150 dpi minimum. Sublimation is not available on cotton or cotton-blend fabrics. ### What is the MOQ for wholesale gym shorts? MOQ is 300 pieces per style per color. For sublimation-printed shorts, MOQ is the same 300 pieces per design. Mixed size runs (S-2XL) count toward the same MOQ. Blank shorts without decoration have the same MOQ on standard stock colors. ## Related - [Joggers Manufacturer](https://yueyiactive.com/joggers-manufacturer) - [Wholesale Sweatpants](https://yueyiactive.com/wholesale-sweatpants) - [Custom Leggings](https://yueyiactive.com/custom-leggings) --- [Request a Quote](https://yueyiactive.com/quote-request/new) · [Email](mailto:sunny@yxsportswear.com)
