Product Overview
The Rhino Auckland shorts represent a sophisticated approach to performance apparel, balancing robust durability with technical flexibility. Constructed from a sturdy medium-weight polyester, these shorts are specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of active environments. Whether intended for competitive rugby or as a functional component of an active work uniform, the Auckland short provides a modern aesthetic without compromising on the structural integrity expected from a brand with such a strong heritage in contact sports.
Key Features
- Elasticated waistband with internal drawcords: This combination ensures a secure, adjustable fit that remains in place during high-intensity movement, preventing the need for constant adjustment.
- Integrated Lycra inserts: Strategically positioned at the sides of the legs and the crotch area, these inserts provide essential stretch and freedom of movement where it is needed most.
- Durable construction: The 100% polyester fabric is designed to resist the abrasions and stresses common in both athletic and physical work scenarios.
- Modern fit: A contemporary cut that offers a professional appearance while remaining highly functional for the wearer.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Auckland short is rooted in its material composition. By using a medium-weight polyester fabric, the garment remains breathable yet remarkably resilient. The inclusion of spandex-rich Lycra in key stress points is a calculated design choice to enhance the range of motion, ensuring that the wearer is never restricted during lunges, sprints, or physical labor.
The fabric choice also ensures excellent colour retention, meaning the shorts will maintain their professional appearance even after repeated laundry cycles. This durability makes them a cost-effective choice for businesses and teams looking for longevity in their uniform or kit.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These shorts are perfectly suited for both print and embroidery, allowing for a wide range of branding options. Given the technical nature of the fabric, our Telford-based team recommends embroidery for a prestigious, long-lasting finish for crests and logos. This method provides a textured, high-quality look that withstands the rigours of active use.
For larger, bolder designs, printing is an excellent alternative. With a designated print area of 7 x 7cm, there is ample space to showcase brand names or secondary logos. Our in-house customisation team, established in 1976, utilises decades of expertise to ensure your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the garment's performance while elevating its professional look.
Use Cases
The Rhino Auckland shorts are an ideal choice for sports teams, particularly rugby clubs, who require garments that can handle significant physical contact. Beyond the pitch, they are well-suited for fitness instructors, outdoor workers in warmer climates, and leisure staff who require a uniform that facilitates movement while looking tidy and professional.

Practical Advice
The Auckland short is available in a broad size range from XS to 3XL. Given the internal drawcord and elasticated waist, we recommend selecting your standard waist size for a secure fit. For those between sizes, the internal drawcord allows for a degree of flexibility. These shorts pair effectively with moisture-wicking polo shirts or technical tees for a complete performance-based uniform.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of these shorts, it is essential to follow the recommended care routine. We advise a domestic machine wash at a warm temperature. This ensures that dirt and perspiration are effectively removed without causing thermal stress to the polyester fibres.
Bleaching agents should be strictly avoided. Chlorine and other harsh chemicals will degrade the synthetic fibres and the Lycra inserts, leading to a loss of elasticity and premature thinning of the fabric. Similarly, while these shorts can be tumble dried on a low setting, excessive heat should be avoided to prevent potential shrinkage or damage to the technical components.
When ironing, use a low heat setting to smooth out any creases. It is critical that you do not iron directly over any printed or embroidered decorations. Direct heat from an iron can melt the print or distort the embroidery threads, causing irreversible damage to your custom branding.
