Athletic Fit Shorts

Athletic fit refers to the unique proportions which our shorts are cut. They are slim on the waist and wider in the thigh. This has a selection of benefits for men with muscular thighs:

• Fit to your true waist size. This means no more sizing up on your waist to fit your legs and no need for a belt 
• Extra room in seat and thigh. For extra comfort, to remove restriction on legs and to prevent crotch tears
• An issue for men with big thighs is ripping through the crotch on their shorts – as the fabric between their legs rubs together. Therefore, we developed our shorts with a re-enforced crotch on the inside, to defend against crotch splits. This is camouflage to the outside

Hyper Stretch – This means the shorts are incredibly stretchy. More than typical ‘stretch’ shorts, which may only move a little. Olympvs shorts can typically stretch up to 40-50% from their original shape (which is a lot!). They also recover well and return to their original shape. This prevents sagging of the material.

Olympvs sources the cutting edge of performance fabrics, which are out of reach from budget brands and fast fashion. The composition of these allows greater stretch and fabric recovery. This means our shorts feel nicer, perform better and last longer.

Muscle fit shorts are designed for guys with large thighs who want form fitted and comfy shorts. They flatter athlete's shapes better and don't have excess fabric on their waist. They are a popular style of shorts for bodybuilders.

Compared to regular fit shorts, athletic fit shorts are slimmer on the waist, wider in the thigh and seat, and tapers towards the knee.

A true athletic fit will be better for guys with a large ‘drop’. Where their waist is considerably smaller than their thigh measurements. 

Muscle fit shorts are designed to fit closely from the athletes waist, all the way down their leg. Slim fit shorts may be closely fitted, however, they do not have room for larger muscles. Therefore they may be restrictive and too tight for athletes.

Olympvs shorts are a muscle fit shape. This allows a tailored fit for men with big thighs, without a skin tight appearance or constrained feeling. 

Athletic legs are wider on the thigh and slimmer on the waist, compared to the average guy. This creates a large ‘drop’ between their thigh to waist measurements, which makes buying off the rack shorts much harder. Guys with athletic legs typically have to ‘size up’ a few inches on their waist size, in order to fit their thighs. However, this leave excess fabric on their waist. If you struggle with this problem, you have an athletic body type.

The Olympvs collection is designed specifically for guys with athletic body types. To have access to form fitted and flattering clothes, which shows off their muscular shapes.
