What Are Custom 2 in 1 Shorts?
Custom 2 in 1 shorts combine two layers: a lightweight outer shell and a built-in compression liner.
This eliminates the need for separate base layers while preventing inner-thigh chafing during running and lifting.
The outer shell provides airflow and styling, while the liner supports quads and glutes with muscle-mapped compression.
Fitman Athletics manufactures 2-in-1 shorts with dual-fabric engineering: 120gsm micro ripstop over 160gsm stretch elastane.
Inseam Lengths and Athletic Use Cases
Inseam length determines movement freedom, muscle support, and garment silhouette across sports.
The 5-inch inseam is built for maximum leg turnover and ventilation in competitive distance running and sprint drills.
The 7-inch inseam is the universal standard for CrossFit boxes, commercial gyms, and athletic training clubs.
The 9-inch inseam provides knee-skimming coverage favored by basketball academies and court sports.
You can split inseam lengths within your 25-piece order without triggering additional minimums.
Running Performance and Phone Pocket Integration
Endurance running demands friction-free liners and bounce-proof phone storage.
Our compression liner incorporates dedicated drop-in phone pockets that hold smartphones securely against the thigh.
The elasticated waistband locks both layers comfortably in place without drawcord digging.
They coordinate directly with companion custom tank tops and custom windbreakers.
Custom Team Training Shorts Programs
Custom 2-in-1 shorts offer team programs unmatched durability and uniform cohesion.
Full-panel sublimation applies team crests, sponsor logos, and player numbers edge-to-edge.
Because graphics are sublimated into the fabric before sewing, colors will never fade or peel from friction.
Dual-Fabric Engineering & Durability
The 120gsm outer shell utilizes hydrophobic weave technology for ultra-fast sweat drying.
The 160gsm liner uses an 87/13 polyester-spandex blend for shape retention and chafe-free glide.
Every seam uses 4-needle 6-thread flatlock stitching to guarantee zero skin irritation during workouts.
MOQ, Sampling, and Production
The minimum order quantity for custom 2-in-1 shorts is 25 pieces per style.
Pre-production samples are completed in 5–7 business days and delivered via DHL Express.
Bulk manufacturing completes in 10–14 business days, inspected to AQL 2.5 standards with worldwide delivery.

FAQ
What is the difference between 2-in-1 shorts and regular running shorts?
Regular running shorts have a single outer layer with no built-in support. 2-in-1 shorts add an integrated compression liner sewn inside the outer shell.
Eliminating the need for a separate base layer, reducing inner-thigh chafe, and providing support and coverage during movement.
The compression liner stays skin-tight while the outer shell provides airflow and freedom of movement.
What inseam lengths are available for custom 2-in-1 shorts?
Fitman Athletics offers 5-inch, 7-inch, and 9-inch inseam lengths as standard options, with custom inseam lengths available on request.
The 7-inch inseam is the most ordered length across gym, running, and team sport applications.
Inseam lengths can be split across the same 25-piece production run without triggering a separate minimum order.
What fabric is used in the compression liner?
The compression liner is made from 160gsm 87% polyester and 13% spandex, providing four-way stretch, compression recovery, and moisture-wicking performance.
The outer shell uses 120gsm 100% polyester for maximum airflow and quick-dry capability.
Both layers are cut separately and sewn together, so the liner performs independently of the outer shell during movement.
Can I get custom 2-in-1 shorts with my team logo and colors?
Yes.
All custom 2-in-1 shorts are manufactured with full-panel dye sublimation applied before cutting, enabling unlimited colors, team graphics, sponsor logos, and number placements across the entire garment.
Private label branding includes woven care labels, custom silicone logos, and branded polybag packaging.
Color-synced production is available to match companion training tops or leggings ordered in the same run.
What is the minimum order for custom 2-in-1 shorts?
The minimum order quantity is 25 pieces per style.
This can be split across inseam lengths and sizes — for example, 12 pieces in a 5-inch inseam and 13 pieces in a 7-inch inseam within the same order.
Youth sizing (XS–XL) and men's sizing (2XS–7XL) can be combined in a single production run.
