Rhino Baselayer Shorts - Black

The Rhino Baselayer Shorts are a 260gsm compression short built to sit directly against the skin under match or training kit. The 90% polyester / 10% elastane blend gives real four-way stretch and holds muscles supported through sprints, scrums and repeated changes of direction. Shown here in Black.

Key Features

• 90% polyester / 10% elastane: A proper stretch blend that returns to shape rather than bagging out over a season.
• 260gsm fabric: Substantial enough for genuine warmth in winter without overheating indoors.
• Compression fit: A close, second-skin fit that supports the muscle and stays put under shorts.
• Moisture-wicking and quick drying: Moves sweat off the skin and turns round quickly between sessions.
• Temperature regulation: Holds warmth on cold pitches and vents as work rate rises.
• Junior and adult sizes: A size run that covers age-group players through to senior squads.

Performance Overview

The point of a baselayer short is that you forget it is there. At 260gsm with a 10% elastane content, these get that right — heavy enough to insulate on a January pitch, elastic enough that a full stride or a deep squat never meets resistance. The compression fit is what keeps them from rolling or riding up under playing shorts, which is the single most common complaint about cheaper alternatives.

The moisture-wicking construction matters most in the second half of a session, when a cotton alternative would be soaked and cold against the skin. These pull sweat outward to evaporate, so the layer stays warm rather than turning into a chill. They also dry fast enough to be washed after Tuesday training and ready again for Thursday.

Benefits

• Warmth on cold pitches without an extra bulky layer.
• Muscle support through sprinting and repeated direction changes.
• Stays dry and comfortable across a full session.
• Black is discreet under any colour of playing kit.

Final Verdict

A well-specified base layer short at a sensible price.

An easy recommendation for winter training and a straightforward squad buy in black.
