We build our athletic shorts for women from the ground up.

Our Title Nine crew goes the distance to create the most comfortable, highest-performing athletic and workout shorts out there—so you can always get your exercise or workout in.

 

What makes Title Nine running and athletic shorts the best?

We like to say our bottoms always bring it. And we’re true believers that T9's shorts for women go the distance—here’s why.
-  We don't do denim (no surprises here) and we definitely don't do fancy pants. Our women's athletic shorts are designed for a purpose (don’t worry—they’re still flexible enough for any and all adventures). Whether it’s hitting the gym, playing sports, practicing yoga, training for a marathon or climbing a crag, we create our athletic shorts with a specific use in mind.
- It’s all about those fabrics—we spend hours testing the best performance clothing fabrics out there, from quick-dry, breathable, moisture-wicking, high-tech fabrics to loose-fitting, woven casual picks, we always find just the right fabric for the job.
- Details, details, details. We sweat the small stuff, like zipper pockets, hidden pockets, sweat-wicking linings, and comfortable elastic waistbands. We take ‘em for a spin (and a run, a jump, and a hike) to make sure they’re just as great as we promise.
- We don't do micro or mini anything. Women who are flipping the script, running the show, and leading the change can't be bothered with clothing that doesn't keep up (or cover up). Our styles let women take action without distraction.
- You can always count on a comfortable fit. Every pair of low-rise, mid-rise, and high rise shorts at Title Nine is made for max comfort, so you never have to adjust your shorts while you're crushing a workout, climbing mountains, training for a race, or biking with the kiddos.

 

What types of athletic shorts does Title Nine carry?

Whatever you're up to for the day, Title Nine's athletic shorts are made to keep you moving, your way. With breathable and durable fabrics, adjustable waistbands, pull-on styles, and pockets in them all, our athletic shorts are the real deal. From high-intensity sweat sessions to casual hikes and everything in between, we've got the must-have shorts for any and every activity.
 
1. Running shorts: Marathoners, trail runners, or treadmill pacers - Title Nine's running shorts help you keep the pace, mile after mile. Whether you like a bit of breathing room for your legs, or a more compressive, bike short-inspired fit, you can't go wrong with a pair of Title Nine running shorts.
 
2. Hiking shorts: Our trail-ready shorts are built with everything you need to keep on trekkin'. Durable, stretchy, abrasion-resistant fabric, and pockets for all your trail snacks. Plus, they're breathable and super easy to move in. All of Title Nine's hiking shorts feature a mid-rise fit for max comfort around your waist.
 
3. Bike shorts: Whether you're mountain biking, road cycling, or hitting a spin class at the gym, our bike shorts are here to help you put in the work. Featuring a high-rise fit on the waist and just-right compression around the legs, our bike shorts can double-up on activities. Take them for a spin, or out for a run. Title Nine's bike shorts are versatile enough for whatever you're up to. 
 
4. Traveler shorts: For women on-the-go, our travel and adventure shorts are every globetrotter's go-to. Wherever you wander, our traveler shorts outdo denim and linen in more ways than one. Planning a day at the beach? Skip the ripped denim shorts and soak up a sun-filled adventure in our Dogtown shorts: a mid-rise pair that digs salt, sand, and sun. And if you like a little more coverage, Title Nine's bermuda shorts are ready for your kind of exploring.
 
5. Gym shorts: Get a serious sweat on in Title Nine's performance-ready gym shorts. With sweat-wicking materials, a comfortable fit around the waist, and just right coverage in the back, our running and bike shorts can tackle your gym session.
 
6. Rompers: For women who love to keep things simple, make getting dressed a one-and-done situation with a laid-back, adventure-ready romper. Easy on, and easy to wear everywhere (minus your workout), Title Nine rompers are the perfect blend of practical and on-trend. Plus, they're breathable, packable, and wrinkle-resistant. So wherever you go, you can do it all without changing your clothing.

 

Sure, T9 workout shorts are great—but are they comfortable?

Yep, they sure are. Our elastic waistbands are built wide, so they never pinch. Interior drawstrings make it easy to adjust to just the right size and sit comfortably on the waist. Quick-drying fabrics keep you cool and dry in all the right places so sweat never slows you down. Whether you’re looking for a loose-fitting, high rise run short or a pair of fitted high rise bike shorts, they're all designed to keep you comfortable through workouts, training sessions, yoga, and more. So you can keep your eye on the ball (or the trail, the summit, or the finish line).
Plus, Title Nine's athletic bottoms can be worn beyond the workout scene. From the trails to downtown, or from yoga class to the kids birthday party, women can go anywhere and everywhere with a pair of T9 shorts in tow. 

 

What are the top 5 athletic shorts styles at Title Nine?

We've narrowed down our top picks for the best shorts for your preferred activity. Whether you're looking for high performance workout shorts, versatile high-waisted biker shorts, or waterproof, boat-ready shorts, here are our five go-to's:
 
1. Best Hike Shorts: Whatever the trails have in store, our Clamber Shorts are ready for it all. We love their eco-friendly, durable, abrasion-resistant Recycled ClambR™ fabric that's made for the most rugged adventures. They have a lightweight feel, mid-rise fit, and plenty of pockets for all your trail necessities. Available in both 5" inseam or 10" inseam for a length closer to bermuda shorts.
 
2. Best for Water Adventures: Go from river to trail, wet to dry, in a flash in the amphibious Rogue bottoms. Choose from shorts, skort, or (basically) bermuda shorts for your next summer adventure. Made with our super wicking and quick-drying Nimblene fabric, Rogue is a surprisingly soft and sturdy river adventure buddy. 
 
3. Best Run Shorts: Women everywhere agree: our Obsession Running Shorts are 100% worth obsessing over. These pull-on shorts have a mid-rise fit, with an elastic waist that's got a hidden adjustable drawcord so your shorts never need readjusting. Soft, stretchy, and fast-drying, crush more miles in these hard working run bottoms.
 
4. Best Training Shorts: Everyone needs a spotter in the weight room. Well, let's just call our Haul It collection a spotter for your... bottom. Available as both biker shorts and tights, Haul It is the ultimate fitness pair, shining in the weight room, on the track, and pretty much any workout class. With pockets in 'em all and a durable, sweat-ready compression fabric, these training shorts (or leggings) are ready to get moving.
 
5. Best for All-Around Travel: When all-day adventure calls, we wear the always-reliable Scout shorts, skort, or pants. Made with a super durable, rip-resistant Brash fabric, this mid-rise, pull-on superstar puts sweatpants and short shorts to shame. It's got plenty of pockets and an unslippable waistband so you can keep exploring. 
 

Do Title Nine athletic shorts have pockets?

There’s nothing worse than not having a place to stash your stuff. We design our shorts for women to be as practical as they are comfortable, so whether it’s a secret key pocket sewn into the lining or phone-sized moisture-proof side-pockets on our fitness shorts, we’re always looking for ways to maximize storage space.
 

Do Title Nine running shorts have a liner?

Most of our running shorts have a built-in mesh brief liner for that barely-there feeling that gives you a bit of a breeze in all the right places, even on the hottest days. Not into liners? Check out The Original Anti-Run Shorts 5".
 

What's the difference between running shorts and yoga shorts?

Not all women's workout shorts are created equal, especially in the case of running versus yoga. Running shorts are meant for sweatier workouts, and typically have a looser fit around the legs to give your legs room to move and breathe. Compared to yoga shorts, which have a more body-skimming fit meant to stay put for inversions, bends, and twists. Some yoga bottoms stop sweat, too, but most are designed for less intense practices.
 

How often should I replace my athletic shorts?

Rips, tears, and a worn-out elastic waistband are signs it's time to swap out your workout shorts. Make sure you've got enough workout shorts in your rotation to avoid over-wearing certain shorts over others.
 

How do I care for my athletic shorts to make them last longer?

It all comes down to the fabric. Some workout shorts can go in the washer and dryer just fine, where others need to be washed delicately and laid out to dry. Always check the care instructions in your workout shorts, but as a rule of thumb: wash all workout clothing together on your washer's delicate or activewear setting and either hang them or lay them out to air dry.
 

How do I choose the right material for my athletic shorts?

Some fabrics are better suited for runs, hikes, or lower-impact activities. Spandex, polyester, or nylon are fabrics we see in all types of workout shorts for their sweat-wicking, stretchy, and sport-ready capabilities. Skip the non-performance fabrics like cotton, denim, or linen to avoid chafing and soaking in your own sweat.
 

How do I choose the right size for my athletic shorts?

Depending on the activity you're getting into, you want to make sure, no matter what, your shorts never slip down. Whether you're looking for loose-fitting run shorts, compressive bike shorts, or waterproof bermuda shorts, make sure they fit comfortably to a T, especially if a lot of movement is involved.
 
When it comes to length, our inseams run anywhere from sporty shortie to bermuda shorts, so whatever you’re comfortable in, we’ve got it. Many of our most popular styles come in multiple lengths from 4-13 inches, so feel free to choose your favorite style, then find the length that’s right for you. Looking for something even longer? Check out our selection of Capris, Pants, Leggings & Tights —all specifically designed to keep up with you.
