Army Shorts Are Made for Movement
Finding the right fit is essential for optimal comfort and performance. You can’t have your shorts that restrict movement or cause discomfort while you’re running, training, or in the gym!
That’s why so many trust PT shorts. These shorts are designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking, so nothing slows you down. They also typically have a built-in boxer-style inner liner and an elastic waistband, ensuring your comfort through any run or tough weightlifting session.
Moisture-wicking athletic shorts alone won’t cut it. Train with confidence and comfort in an Air Force, USMC, Navy, or Army PT shirt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do PT shorts have pockets?
Official US Army shorts generally don’t have the standard side pockets you're used to. However, they do have hidden internal pockets to fit your ID or keys.
What are Ranger panties?
Ranger panties, or “silkies,” are ultra-short (2-2.25” inseam) military physical training shorts. Popularized by Army Rangers and Marines, these athletic shorts provide moisture-wicking capabilities to keep you cool and prevent chafing in hot, humid conditions.
They’re probably most famous for their extremely short design. However, this design serves a purpose: It allows for unrestricted movement for running, weightlifting, rucking, and more.
What are Army shorts made of?
PT shorts are primarily made of 100% polyester for the outer shell. This helps wick moisture and provides a lightweight feel.
Their side panels are made from 85% polyester and 15% spandex for stretch and movement while training. Lastly, their inner liners feature a 90% nylon/10% spandex construction for comfort and support.
Why do PT shorts have built-in liners?
These liners serve several key functions:
- They help wick sweat from your body.
- They help prevent chafing.
- They provide light support during high-intensity activities like running and jumping.
- They provide coverage to prevent any mishaps during training.
