01 — In short
What are sliding shorts?
Sliding shorts are compression shorts with foam pads at the hips and thighs. Baseball and softball players wear them under pants to protect against slides; football and rugby players use them too.

03 — Choosing the fabric
Compression fabrics compared.
Compression depends on stretch and recovery. The blend and the weight set how firm it feels.
| Fabric | Typical weight | What it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester–elastane, around 80/20 | 160–240 GSM | Firm and quick-drying. Takes sublimation. |
| Nylon–elastane, around 75/25 | 180–240 GSM | Smoother and softer, with strong recovery. |
| Brushed polyester–elastane | 220–300 GSM | Warm inside for cold weather. |
| Mesh zones | Varies | Placed where the body runs hot. |
Nylon blends do not sublimate well, so logos on nylon are printed or heat-transferred.
