The athletic apparel company ASRV Sportswear calls attention to its Tetra-Lite 7" Liner Short, a training short constructed from the brand's proprietary Tetra-Lite fabric. Available in different activewear silhouettes, this material innovation stands out for being exceptionally lightweight and soft. The brand notes that the Tetra-Lite innovation can stretch six times in every direction and is equipped with a durable water-resistant coating to provide protection during light rain.
Aside from the performance-driven fabric, ASRV Sportswear's Tetra-Lite 7" Liner Short comes with other practical features, including two media pockets for bounce-free storage of phones or music devices, mesh panels for enhanced breathability, and Polygiene anti-odor technology. The silhouette's shape retention is ensured throughout any activity thanks to WarpFlexx®, which is described as a "medium-weight specialized material constructed using a process called warp knit." This feature also delivers mild compression.
