Badger Men's Black BT5 9" Inseam Trainer Shorts

The Badger BT5 9" Inseam Trainer Shorts in Black are a staple athletic short for anyone who wants dependable performance in a timeless, versatile colorway. Constructed from 6 oz/yd². 100% polyester, the moisture-management and antimicrobial performance fabric draws sweat away from the skin and inhibits odor-causing bacteria, keeping you through the full duration of a practice, workout, or competition day.

Black is the most universally requested color in team athletic programs, and the BT5 delivers it with a construction profile built to last. Top and bottom coverstitching reinforces the garment at its highest-stress seam lines, while a double-needle hem at the leg openings keeps the silhouette clean and resistant to fraying after many wash cycles.

The result is a short that looks as good in week twelve as it does in week one. Airflow is managed through 100% polyester waffle weave vent panels positioned at the inseam and along both leg sides. These open-weave zones allow heat to escape during high-output activity, supporting sustained performance without the distraction of overheating.

The covered elastic waistband features an internal drawcord that allows each athlete to dial in a snug, secure fit regardless of their position within a size range. Two deep side pockets provide accessible storage for essentials, and a back welt pocket with a button closure keeps valuables secure when moving through drills or competition.

The 9-inch inseam offers solid mid-thigh coverage across a wide range of activity types. An embroidered Badger logo on the left hip rounds out the look. These shorts carry Socially Conscious Manufacturing status through the Fair Labor Association.
