Great Tennis Short

Soft polyester in thin mesh weave,, simple short with no unneeded back pocket to compromise wicking and interior air circulation. Fits loosely to breathe. Every feature is engineered to move heat and moisture out. Ideal for playing in extremely hot and humid conditions. Intelligent and uncompromising design that follows its function. A must on the Gulf Coast, where hydration depletes almost entirely on court through rapid evaporation, and anywhere else there are heat advisories.

We're glad the lightweight mesh fabric, breathable fit, and streamlined design worked so well for you. It's great to hear the focus on airflow, moisture management, and all-day comfort made such a difference when playing in extremely hot and humid conditions like the Gulf Coast.

Polo shirt in photo?

Where can I buy the polo shirt pictured here? How come it was used in the photo shoot and not released?

Looks fantastic

These look outstanding in pool party blue and are very comfortable. I also have the pace breaker linerless in yellow and I think those might be a bit more comfortable so worth trying those as well, but hard choice between the two. I am 170lb 6 foot one and got these in large.
