Men's Active Shorts

Men's Active Shorts for Walks, Hikes and Golf

Built for the trail, the fairway, and everything in between. One pair of Frankster mens active shorts handles it all.

Afternoon round, weekend trail walk, or casual stroll? Whatever's on today's list, our men's active shorts are built to keep up.

Here's the full spec sheet:

• Fabric: 92% polyester, 8% elastane. Stretches through every squat and lunge without losing its shape.

• Fit: Mid-length, sits just above the knee. Covered enough, free enough to move.

• Waistband: Part-elastic with drawstrings. Wear it in or out, stays put all day.

• Functional Pockets: Features deep side pockets, including a hidden zip pocket for the stuff you do not want falling out mid-session.

• Cheeky Touch: Reflective Frankster logo, so when someone asks where you got them, just point.

Each pair runs true to size from XS to 4XL and fit-tested on real blokes across every build and body frame. 

If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for more room through the leg.

How to Choose the Right Men's Active Shorts

Lightweight, durable, and unrestrictive, these active shorts for men are built for the walks, hikes and a round of golf. 

1. Match length to activity. Shorter, above-the-knee cuts suit trail walks and golf, where freedom of movement matters most.

2. Skip the cotton. Prioritise stretch and breathability for longer walks or hikes, so the fabric moves with your stride instead of against it.

3. Check the fit runs true to size. Mens active shorts should sit close enough to stay put but loose enough to never restrict your stride.

4. Look for moisture-wicking, lightweight fabric if you train in heat or humidity.

5. Pick a finish that suits your conditions. Water-resistant and anti-microbial fabric handles sweat, rain, and back-to-back training days without losing shape.
