A new pair of shorts may seem simple to choose, until the waistband feels tight, the pockets turn out to be too small or the fabric feels heavy during exercise. Anyone searching for PUMA men's shorts is usually looking for a combination of comfort, sporty style and a fit that remains comfortable after repeated washing.
Pay particular attention to these three common pitfalls:
For men's running shorts and intense training, a lightweight woven polyester fabric is often practical. It generally dries faster than cotton and feels less heavy when damp. According to the product description, the black PUMA Ess Woven shorts are made from 100% polyester.
The same product description also mentions dryCELL technology, which, according to PUMA's own information, is designed to wick moisture away from the body. Consider this a product feature rather than a guaranteed result for every user.
For relaxed days, travelling or wearing them at home, a softer cotton blend may feel more comfortable. The grey PUMA ESS No. 1 Logo shorts consist of 68% cotton and 32% polyester and are made from French Terry. This makes the model an interesting choice for anyone looking for comfortable men's shorts, men's cotton shorts or men's training shorts for light activity.
An elasticated waistband with an internal drawstring gives you more ways to adjust the fit. This is useful if you wear the shorts for both sport and casual occasions. The PUMA models mentioned have a medium rise. The Ess Woven version sits above the knee, while the ESS No. 1 Logo version has a knee-length cut.
Don't just look at the letter size. The available PUMA information states that the models are expected to fit true to size. Even so, it is sensible to compare the size guide with a pair of shorts you already find comfortable. This is particularly important when shopping for XXL men's shorts, as the waist width and room through the legs can vary from one model to another.
Before buying, check whether the model features:
The PUMA shorts in this selection have practical side pockets. For the sporty Ess Woven version, the manufacturer recommends washing at 30 degrees, not using bleach and not tumble drying. The cotton-blend models also require careful washing and, according to the product information, are not recommended for tumble drying. A lower washing temperature and air drying can help preserve the shape and colour for longer.
Why it suits this profile: The cotton blend and knee-length cut make this a versatile option for wearing at home, every day and during light training.
The composition is clearly stated: 68% cotton and 32% polyester. An elasticated waistband, internal drawstring and side pockets are also specified.

Black colour, cotton-polyester blend, internal drawstring and at least 50% recycled material according to the product description.
Why it suits this profile: The lightweight woven fabric and above-the-knee cut are well suited to training, running and active time outdoors.
The composition, length, pockets and adjustable waistband are described clearly. According to PUMA's own information, dryCELL is designed to help manage moisture.
100% polyester, lightweight woven fabric, side pockets, internal drawstring and, according to the product description, 100% recycled material, excluding finishes and decoration.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Look for lightweight woven shorts with an above-the-knee length, side pockets and an adjustable waistband. The Ess Woven version has these features. According to PUMA's own information, dryCELL technology is designed to help manage moisture. Also check whether the pockets are secure enough for your phone or keys.
Compare your waist measurement with the size guide on the product page and also consider how much room you want through the legs. The available PUMA information indicates that the models mentioned are expected to fit true to size. If you are between two sizes, an internal drawstring may provide some extra flexibility, but it cannot replace choosing the correct size.
Men's cotton shorts are comfortable for walking, light training and relaxing. Cotton feels soft, but during intense exercise it can retain moisture for longer than a lightweight polyester fabric. For running or demanding training, breathable sports shorts made from woven polyester are often more practical. For wearing at home and everyday use, a cotton blend such as French Terry is a sensible choice.
