Another thing. Fashion thing. Been bugging me for years. Ugly baggy pants going to the knees or below are not shorts. They are an ugly nonsensical faddish facsimile of shorts. Have any of you ever seen a good looking woman wearing anything like that at the mall? While jogging? Doing aerobics? At the gym?
Didn't think so. Women aren't so fashion stupid as to cause unnecessary sweating.
The purpose to wearing shorts is to wear less hot and constrictive clothing, bearing more of the body to cooling by air. Shorts should be shorts. What those players are wearing for workout pants are dumb. More fashion than utility.
Skkorp, you are 100% dead wrong on this. (Wow 2 days and 2 disagreements with my favorite posters).
Nylon shorts are super-comfortable, extremely light, have tons of small holes for breathability and in many cases very cheap. They are about as less constrictive as you can get. (You can get good nylon shorts at target for under $10)
I have 7-8 pairs of them, and when I telecommute (2-3 days/week) I wear a t-shirt and nylon shorts to the knees.
If the cheerleaders wore them, I may have an issue, but I have no desire to see football players in John Stockton nutters.
Now I'm off to the team shop to see if I can get a pair of these!
