Choosing shorts can be difficult. Here is a little guidance before purchasing new training shorts from CLN Athletics.
CLN Compression shorts
Our compression shorts are for those looking for extra support and pressure over the buttocks and thighs. The super tight shorts really provide that extra support that can be nice to have during heavy squats, box jumps or running. They can of course be used for any movements and exercises. Even as swimming trunks when swimming. The material in these shorts is an extra soft, super stretch quality that ensures high compression, perfect fit and compact look, along with fantastic breathability. It provides muscle support, increases the efficiency of all movements, which reduces the risk of muscle rupture and the production of lactic acid. In this way, it increases your performance and sense of freedom. The material is extra resistant to chlorine and sweat. We are talking about a durable fabric with high recovery capacity that maintains its properties and performance even after many washes. CLN Compression shorts are best worn right on the body without underwear and under all of our other shorts models.
CLN Jersey Bow shorts
This model is a development of our first shorts. A super comfortable, soft shorts that you just love to put on whether it's training or at home on the couch. Made in a soft and comfortable cotton / polyester mix. The material in these shorts is knitted unlike other shorts that are made of woven materials. This makes Bow jersey shorts more sensitive to abrasion which can result in worn fabric if you, for example, pull a barbell against your thighs. The fit is normal and the waistband is elastic which contributes to the comfortable feeling you get in these shorts. In addition, the waist can be adjusted further with a drawstring if needed. The model also has two pockets.
CLN Ultra shorts 
It was our Team CLN athlete Lukas Högberg who, after the Crossfit games in California, wanted a thin, lightweight model for training in hot environments. It was with that input that we developed the latest addition to our shorts family, the CLN Ultra shorts. As the name suggests, a super lightweight model optimized for those looking for a thin, stretchy, super lightweight model with very good moisture wicking ability, breathability and freedom of movement. The material is a thin, flexible 4-way stretch made of polyester (86%) and elsatan (14%). The material provides very good breathability and moisture wicking properties as well as a lot of stretch. The shorts are designed without a drawstring at the waist for lower weight. Instead, it sits up with a 40 mm wide elastic band at the waist, which makes it fit perfectly and is incredibly flexible. Thanks to the thin fabric, low weight and technical properties, these are fantastic shorts for training in hot environments.
CLN Cordura stretch shorts NG EVO
CLN Cordura Stretch shorts NG EVO are probably the best shorts on the market for those who train hard and hard with a lot of barbells. They can withstand really hard hits and handle abrasion from the barbell without breaking. NG EVO stands for Next Generation Evolution. So it is the third generation of Cordura stretch shorts that have been refined and improved over time. What we have here is a Swedish-made technical material (97% Polyamide / 3% Elastane) with exceptional wear and abrasion resistance but at the same time stretchy and flexible with very good moisture-wicking properties. The model has a normal fit with a drawstring at the waist for extra adjustment options, a Velcro fly and a small pocket with a zipper on the leg. For additional freedom of movement, there is a gusset with a knitted stretch material that runs along the crotch.
CLN Rapid shorts
When we started developing the CLN Rapid shorts, our goal was to create an exclusive, versatile, durable, technical shorts with an optimal fit. We succeeded. The entire construction of the shorts in combination with the material choices make this model the most technical shorts we have created to date. The material is a very durable 4-way stretch quality with very good foot transport properties made of Polyamide (88%) and Elsat (12%), which makes these shorts extremely comfortable and flexible. To optimize the feeling of freedom, we have added a piece at the back in a knitted 4-way stretch quality. Combined with a 40 mm wide elastic in the waist at the back, this creates the perfect fit and freedom of movement. Designed with seams and cuts in selected places to reduce irritation and chafing during intense training. In addition, all other details have been chosen with care. For example, the matte black eyelets with lime logo and the multi-colored drawstring at the waist with dipped silicone ends as well as the laser-cut CLN label down the right leg. The Rapid shorts also have a small zippered pocket on the back of the right leg.
