Product Overview
The Finden & Hales Pro Stretch Sports Shorts are engineered for individuals who require maximum mobility and a lightweight feel from their activewear. Constructed from a technical blend of polyester and elastane, these shorts are specifically designed to move with the wearer, making them an excellent choice for sports teams, fitness instructors, or active workers in warmer environments. The unlined design ensures breathability, while the inclusion of a dyed-to-match crotch panel provides structural reinforcement where it is needed most. These are not merely leisure shorts; they are functional garments designed to withstand the rigours of repeated physical activity while maintaining a professional appearance.
Key Features
- 4-Way Stretch Fabric: The advanced fabric construction allows for expansion in all directions, ensuring the garment does not restrict movement during strenuous tasks.
- Fully Elasticated Waistband with Inner Drawcord: Provides a secure and adaptable fit for various body shapes, ensuring the shorts remain in place throughout the day.
- Integrated Zip-Up Pockets: Secure storage for tools or personal items, preventing loss during movement.
- Unlined Construction: Minimises bulk and increases airflow to keep the wearer cool during intensive activity.
- Dyed-to-Match (DTM) Crotch Panel: Enhances the garment's durability and provides a cohesive, professional finish.
Design & Performance
The performance of the LV817 is rooted in its material composition: 90% polyester for durability and colour retention, and 10% elastane to provide the necessary flexibility. This lightweight fabric is designed to be barely noticeable while in use, yet strong enough to handle regular wear. The inclusion of a 4-way stretch capability means the fabric recovers its shape immediately after being stretched, preventing the garment from becoming baggy or misshapen over time. Furthermore, the Amfori BSCI accreditation ensures that these shorts are produced under ethical working conditions, reflecting a commitment to responsible manufacturing.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These shorts offer an excellent canvas for custom branding, whether you require a simple company name or a complex team crest. Our Telford-based team, operating since 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure the highest standards are met. Embroidery is particularly effective for small logos on the leg or hip, providing a high-quality, professional finish that stands up well to frequent washing. For larger, more vibrant graphics, print customisation is recommended as it remains flexible and maintains the lightweight properties of the fabric. Regardless of your choice, we ensure your branding is applied with precision.
Use Cases
These shorts are ideal for professional sports coaching staff, gym instructors, and leisure centre employees. They are also a practical choice for tradespeople working in high-temperature environments where standard work trousers are impractical, provided the lightweight nature of the fabric suits the specific task. They serve equally well as part of a coordinated team kit for corporate sports events or charity runs.

Practical Advice
The sizing for these shorts ranges from Small to 2XL, covering waist sizes from 32 to 40 inches. Given the elasticated waistband and drawcord, there is a degree of flexibility in the fit. For those who prefer a more relaxed feel during high-intensity exercise, we recommend selecting your standard waist size, as the 4-way stretch will accommodate natural movement. These shorts pair effectively with technical moisture-wicking polo shirts or t-shirts for a complete active uniform.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of these technical shorts, we recommend a synthetic wash at 30°C. This lower temperature helps preserve the elastane fibres, ensuring the shorts retain their stretch and shape over time.
Always wash similar colours together and turn the garment inside out before cleaning. This simple step protects the outer surface of the fabric and any applied customisation from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum.
It is crucial to avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibres and reduce the effectiveness of the stretch properties. Similarly, do not bleach or tumble dry the garment, as high heat and harsh chemicals will degrade the synthetic materials. We suggest reshaping the shorts while damp and drying them out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Finally, do not iron directly onto any printed or embroidered decoration to avoid damaging the branding.
