When it comes to men’s activewear, the right pair of shorts can make all the difference — whether you’re sprinting, lifting, doing HIIT or logging miles. In this post we’ll explore what to look for in a great men’s training/running short, and highlight standout models from Casmir that deliver performance, comfort and value.
What to look for in men’s training & running shorts
Fit & mobility: You need shorts that allow full range of motion — for lunges, sprints, side-shuffles. A shorter inseam (3-5″) often helps for running, while a 5-7″ works for training.
Fabric blend: Look for sweat-wicking, quick-dry fabrics with some stretch (e.g., polyester-spandex). Casmir uses this blend in its running shorts.
Waistband & secure fit: Elastic with drawcord helps for fluctuating waist size and ensures the shorts stay in place when you go all-out.
Breathability & durability: In high-intensity sessions you’ll sweat; you want fabric that manages moisture and holds up over time.
Style & function: While performance is key, you also want a look you feel confident in — and maybe nice colour/pattern choices.
Top Casmir picks for men
Here are two top models from Casmir worth calling out:
Casmir FlexStride Training Shorts: A high-quality polyester-spandex blend built for training sessions. Ideal for gym circuits, resistance training and mixed workouts.
Casmir HyperRun Running Shorts: Designed with running in mind — lightweight construction, built for speed and comfort when logging miles or doing sprint intervals.
Why these work
Casmir’s men’s line emphasizes performance and movement. On Instagram, they showcase models doing deep squats, sprints and high-intensity drills in their “TrainCore Pro” and “HyperRun” lines.
The fabrics (polyester-spandex blends) support both mobility and moisture management. For example, one listing mentions: “Crafted from a high-quality blend of polyester and spandex … perfect for running and training sessions. The sweat-wicking fabric keeps you dry.”
Since Casmir is positioned as a sports-performance brand, the men’s shorts reflect that mindset.
How to choose depending on your activity
For running/intermediate-distance: Choose the HyperRun model (lighter fabric, shorter inseam may help).
For gym/training (HIIT, lifting, circuits): FlexStride offers more versatility, better coverage and durable build.
Colour/style note: Pick something you’re comfortable wearing beyond the gym — that boosts wearability and value.
Fit check: Ensure the waistband doesn’t twist, the hem doesn’t ride up in lunges/sprints, and the length aligns with your preferred look (and performance needs).
Final recommendation
If you're a man serious about your training or running, investing in a dedicated pair of shorts from Casmir makes sense. You're getting a product built for movement, built with the right materials — not just a casual short.
