Badger Men's Royal Pro Mesh 9" Shorts with Pockets

The Badger Men's Royal Pro Mesh 9" Shorts with Pockets bring a classic team color to a performance-first athletic short. Royal Blue is one of the most widely used colors in scholastic and recreational sports programs, and this style delivers it in a construction built to hold up through a demanding season of use.

The shell is made from 3 oz/yd². 100% polyester pro-mesh, a fabric choice that keeps weight low while promoting consistent airflow during activity. Whether you are running an outdoor drill in warm weather or moving through a high-energy gym session, the pro-mesh construction helps manage heat and moisture so athletes can focus on performance rather than comfort issues.

A solid tricot liner adds internal structure and comfort that makes these shorts a step above bare-mesh designs. The liner sits close to the body without binding, providing a base layer that eliminates the need for separate compression shorts in most use cases.

The athletic cut allows full range of motion from the hips through the thighs, while the 2-inch covered elastic waistband stays secure through jumps, sprints, and lateral movements. The drawcord lets each wearer customize the waist fit. Side-entry pockets are included on both sides, offering storage for small items during workouts, travel, or casual wear.

This practical addition is appreciated by athletes who want to carry a key or card without needing a bag. The Badger style carries Socially Conscious Manufacturing credentials through Fair Labor Association accreditation, supporting buyers who prioritize ethical supply chain practices.
