Shorts Kawasaki K1C10-A3697-1 black

The Kawasaki K1C10-A3697-1 shorts are a wardrobe basic that simply has to work: no restriction when you lunge, moisture pulled away from the skin, and drying faster than your drive home takes. Plain black with no prints means they pair with every shirt you own, club kit included.

The fabric is 100% polyester in a knit construction rather than a woven one. The difference is something you feel: knit stretches naturally and follows the body, so the shorts move with you instead of resisting on a deep lunge to the shuttle. 🏸

🎯 What sets these apart

✅ Sizes from S to 4XL 📏 — a full range, rarely seen in badminton apparel. Larger players don't have to compromise with generic sportswear.

✅ Knit rather than woven — natural stretch in the fabric, no stiff creasing, freedom in lunges and squats.

✅ 100% polyester 💧 — synthetic fibre doesn't soak up sweat the way cotton does. Moisture travels to the surface and evaporates instead of weighing the fabric down.

✅ Fast drying ⚡ — after training and after washing. Playing several times a week, that's a real convenience: one pair covers two consecutive sessions.

✅ Relaxed cut — a looser leg that doesn't restrict lateral movement. That matters in racket sports, where most footwork goes sideways rather than forward.

✅ Versatile black 🎽 — no prints or bright accents, so they work with club shirts and don't stand out off court.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Kawasaki K1C10-A3697-1

📏 How do I choose a size?
The range runs from S to 4XL. The shorts have a relaxed cut, so if you're between two sizes the smaller one is usually right — this isn't a slim-fit model. Ordering online, feel free to order two sizes and send back the one that doesn't fit; we offer easy returns.

🧵 How does knit differ from woven in shorts?
Knit is built from loops that stretch naturally; woven fabric is made of interlaced threads that give far less. In practice, knit shorts handle deep lunges better and don't form stiff creases at the groin.

💧 Isn't 100% polyester hot to wear?
Polyester doesn't absorb sweat the way cotton does, so the fabric never turns heavy and wet mid-match. Moisture moves to the outer surface and evaporates — which is why it actually feels cooler than cotton shorts twenty minutes into a rally.

🏸 Are they only for badminton?
No. The cut and fabric work equally well for tennis, squash, the gym and running. These are general training shorts, not a single-sport specialist item.

🎨 Which colours is this model available in?
The manufacturer offers two versions: black (shown here, code K1C10-A3697-1) and dark blue (K1C10-A3697-2).

🧼 How should I wash polyester shorts?
Wash at up to 30°C on a synthetics programme, inside out. Skip the fabric softener — it coats the fibres with a layer that blocks moisture transport. Don't tumble dry or iron; polyester air-dries in a few hours.

👕 Are they see-through?
Black polyester at this weight generally isn't. If you have any doubt about a particular pair, check before the first wash — returns are straightforward at that point.

🏃 Is the fit loose or fitted?
Relaxed. The leg doesn't cling to the thigh, giving full freedom of lateral movement. If you're after compression or tight-fitting shorts, this isn't the model.
