Sun’s out, shins out.
It’s a scorcher of a summer out there. If you really want to stay cool, you’ll want to take a multi-pronged approach. That includes rethinking your hydration levels, the intensity and type of training you’re doing, and your clothing.
We’ll be back with some training tips later month. (We also recommend checking out our archives for more information on how to feel and smell as fresh as possible during hot weather training.) But first, let’s talk about your wardrobe.
Here are five types of shorts that will keep you feeling and looking cool at the gym, in the ring, or anywhere else you want to show off ProForce’s finest.
Karate Shorts
ProForce Karate shorts are light enough to help you beat the heat. They’re also durable enough to survive all of the training you’ll be able to do when you’re feeling more comfortable and regulated. They’re built for the dojo, but you can take them almost anywhere you wear shorts. Pair them with a Karate gi top for dojo training and drills. Wear them with a t-shirt, tank top, or rash guard for more casual practice or cross-training. Lounge around in a pair at home. You can even take them out on the town for a comfy and casual look.
ProForce® 5 Oz. Karate Shorts – Lightweight Martial Arts Training Shorts: The newest additions to ProForce’s lineup are these lightweight and breathable Karate shorts. These superstar rookies are made from a 5oz cotton and polyester blend that won’t weight you down and won’t wear down no matter how hard you work or play in them. Their 4-panel gusseted crotch will allow you move freely through your full range of motion. Reinforced seams will help maintain their shape and function over time. And their elastic waistband will keep them exactly where they need to be without causing you any discomfort or distraction. And they’re available in five colors to suit almost any personal style. $24.99-$33.99 USD.
ProForce® 6 Oz. Karate Shorts: ProForce also offers a more basic Karate shorts design in a slightly heavier cotton and polyester blend. They might not be quite as fancy and functional, but they’ll get the job done in basic training and resting. And they won’t break your bank while they’re helping you beat the heat. $14.99-$23.99 USD.
Muay Thai Shorts
Muay Thai shorts are so hot right now, but they can still help keep your cool during traditional Muay Thai training, fitness kickboxing, festivals, or anywhere else where you want to move, look, and feel your best.
ProForce Sport® Angel Wing Muay Thai Shorts With Bows: If you want to be on the cutting edge of fashion and function this summer, these stunners from ProForce’s athleisure line, ProForce sport can take you anywhere from the ring to the runway.

ProForce® Muay Thai Shorts: If you prefer a more traditional style, ProForce also has these classic Muay Thai shorts. They also have an extra wide cut and short inseam to allow for high kicks and freedom of movement and a 3” waistband for maximum comfort and stability. They’ll fit in at any Muay Thai gym or any other martial arts facility. And they’re still cool enough to wear as a fashion statement if you’re in the mood. Available in four colorways. $44.99 USD.

Boxing shorts are also having a moment this summer. And ProForce is ready to meet it with a range of Boxing shorts that will keep you cool in the ring, at the gym, at home, and on the street.

These knee-length shorts are made with a super soft, smooth satin fabric that both looks and feels amazing. They also have an extra wide elastic waistband for comfort and flexibility and an 8” slit to allow for even more freedom of motion.

MMA Shorts
It takes a special type of short to be able to handle everything you throw at it in the cage and every type of training that goes into your mixed martial arts background. These board shorts from ProForce are up to all of the above — and they’re pretty great at the beach and other fun summer spots, too.
ProForce® Combat MMA Shorts: Made with a lightweight, ultra durable micro-fibre fabric, these board shorts will take you to the championship rounds while feeling as cool as a cucumber.

They’re also water repellant, lighter than cotton, wool, or silk for the ultimate cool. $49.99 USD.
