Shorts Kawasaki K1C10-A3697-2 dark blue

🔵 Navy that hides the traces of a hard session — training shorts up to 4XL

Navy has one practical edge over black in the hall: it doesn't show court dust or slide marks, and it doesn't heat up the way black does when you play outdoors. The Kawasaki K1C10-A3697-2 puts that muted colour into a simple, print-free cut you can pair with any shirt — club kit, training top or plain sportswear. 🏸

The fabric is polyester knit, not woven. Knit loops stretch naturally, so the shorts settle onto the body and give way with every lunge instead of pulling tight at the groin. On top of that, synthetic fibre doesn't absorb sweat — it pushes it to the outer face of the fabric, where it evaporates.

⚡ Seven reasons to pick this model

No gaps in the size range. 📏 S to 4XL — seven sizes. In badminton apparel, anything above XXL is often hard to find; here it's standard.

Knit, not woven. 🧵 Natural stretch instead of stiffness. On deep lunges to the shuttle you'll notice it from the first session.

One hundred percent polyester. 💧 No cotton content to soak up moisture and turn heavy. The fabric stays light through a full match.

Dries in hours. ⚡ After training and after washing. Playing three times a week, a single pair comfortably covers the rotation.

Loose leg. 🦵 It doesn't cling to the thigh, so lateral movement stays unrestricted — and that's where most racket-sport footwork happens.

A practical colour. 🎽 Navy hides marks better than light shades and reflects less heat than black in full sun.

Versatile use. 🏃 Court, gym, running, warm-up — this isn't a single-discipline specialist.

👥 Who will get the most from them?

👉 Club players 🏅 — navy sits well alongside most club shirts without clashing

👉 Larger-build players — the range up to 4XL, no hunting through generic sportswear

👉 Anyone playing outdoors too ☀️ — dark navy heats up less than black

👉 Players training intensively — fast drying keeps the number of pairs down

👉 Parents buying for teenagers — a neutral colour that works on and off the court

❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Kawasaki K1C10-A3697-2

🎨 How does the dark blue differ from the black version?
Colour only. Version -2 is dark blue, version -1 is black. Fabric, cut, size range and every property are identical. The choice comes down to what you're pairing them with.

📏 Which size should I take?
The range is S–4XL and the cut is relaxed — between two sizes, the smaller one is usually the better call. This isn't a slim-fit model, so there's no need to size up. Ordering online, take two sizes and return the one that doesn't fit.

🏸 Are these badminton-only shorts?
No. They work for tennis, squash, the gym and running. The cut and fabric suit any sport where freedom of movement and moisture management matter.

🧵 Why knit rather than woven?
Knit is built from loops that stretch in every direction; woven fabric is interlaced threads that give far less. The result is more freedom in lunges and no stiff creasing.

🌡️ Does navy get hot in the sun?
Less than black, though more than light colours. On outdoor courts that's a noticeable difference; indoors it makes none.

🧼 How do I wash them to keep the properties?
Up to 30°C, synthetics programme, inside out. No fabric softener — it coats the fibres with a layer that blocks moisture transport, cancelling out polyester's main advantage. No tumble drying, no ironing.

👖 Will the colour fade over time?
Polyester holds dye well, and navy is more stable in this respect than lighter shades. Washing cool and inside out extends colour life further.

🏃 Is the fit loose or fitted?
Relaxed. The leg doesn't cling to the thigh. If you want compression or tight-fitting shorts, this model won't meet that expectation.
