The most relevant aspect of this garment is on the label, and it is a detail that almost no brand publishes: 86% recycled polyester and 14% elastane. 14% is a lot. In sportswear, it is usual to range between 5% and 8%, meaning these shorts have nearly double the stretch of standard technical shorts. This is noticeable in a specific situation: hip opening. In padel you drop down for balls at ankle height and stretch your stride towards the glass, and there a fabric with little elastane restricts the movement at the crotch. With 14% the fabric moves with you and returns, so freedom of movement does not depend on the shorts being baggy. This also allows for a cleaner cut: there is no need for excess fabric to be able to move, because the elasticity already handles the stretch. Hence the regular fit of a garment that, even so, does not pull during any movement. Recycled polyester: the fabric base. The remaining 86% is recycled polyester, obtained from plastic waste rather than virgin fibre. For whoever plays, the performance is the same: it does not absorb water
