Product Overview
The SF Kids Fashion Cycling Shorts are engineered to provide a robust yet flexible solution for junior activewear and branded apparel. Constructed from a substantial, heavyweight single jersey fabric, these shorts offer a high degree of opacity, ensuring they remain non-transparent even during rigorous movement. The inclusion of a soft elastic jacquard waistband not only enhances wearer comfort but has been specifically designed to accommodate customisation, making them an ideal choice for dance schools, sports clubs, or promotional merchandise.
Key Features
- Soft Elastic Jacquard Waistband: This feature provides a secure, comfortable fit that moves with the wearer, while offering a smooth surface specifically suited for branding.
- Non-Transparent Fabric: The density of the material ensures full coverage and modesty, which is essential for active use in professional or educational environments.
- Tear-Out Label: The easily removable tag allows for seamless rebranding, making these shorts perfect for businesses looking to create their own bespoke clothing line.
- High Elastane Content: With a significant percentage of elastane, the garment offers excellent stretch and recovery, maintaining its shape over time.
Design & Performance
The performance of these shorts is rooted in the technical composition of the fabric. The main body is crafted from 88% polyester and 12% elastane, creating a sturdy single jersey that provides a supportive feel. This blend is specifically chosen for its moisture-wicking properties and its ability to withstand the demands of frequent physical activity. The jacquard waistband uses a complex mix of nylon, polyester, and elastane to ensure it retains its tension and does not roll or pinch during use. The overall construction is designed to provide a professional finish that looks as good on the field as it does in a retail environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These cycling shorts are highly versatile when it comes to branding. The smooth finish of the polyester-rich fabric is an excellent substrate for film or screen printing, allowing for bold, sharp designs that remain vibrant. The jacquard waistband is also suitable for specific printing techniques, providing a modern, high-end look for logos or text.
For a more traditional and durable finish, our Telford-based team can apply high-quality embroidery. This is particularly effective for club crests or school logos on the lower leg, providing a permanent and professional appearance. Having operated since 1976, MyWorkwear ensures that every stitch and print is executed with technical precision.
Use Cases
These shorts are perfectly suited for junior dance academies, gymnastics clubs, and school PE kits where durability and modesty are paramount. They also serve as an excellent base layer for outdoor activities or as a standalone fashion item for event-based promotional wear and festivals.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes, please refer to the specific waist measurements provided, as the high elastane content provides a close, athletic fit. For teams or schools, we recommend a mix of sizes from 5/6 through to 11/12 to accommodate different age groups and growth phases. If you are planning large-scale printing on the waistband, ensure your artwork is scaled appropriately for the smaller sizes in the range.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and technical performance of the elastane fibers, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C using a synthetic or delicate cycle. Washing at higher temperatures can prematurely break down the elastic components, leading to a loss of shape and fit.
It is vital to avoid the use of fabric softeners. Softeners can coat the synthetic fibers, reducing the fabric's breathability and interfering with the adhesion of any printed customisation. Similarly, do not use bleach, as this will degrade the polyester and cause discolouration.
Air drying is strongly recommended; do not tumble dry these shorts. The intense heat of a tumble dryer can melt the synthetic yarns and damage the elasticity. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas to prevent damage to the branding.
