Long Padel Trousers

Long padel trousers

Long padel trousers are what you reach for in the colder months. They keep your quads and hamstrings warm through the warm-up and the first few games, when the muscle is still cold and easier to strain. They also cut out the wind and damp on outdoor courts, and plenty of models look fine off court too.

How do you choose a pair?

• Stretch fabric: it shouldn't hold back your knee when it bends.
• Fitted or zipped ankle: so the hem doesn't catch as you move.
• Pockets with a fastening: useful if your phone or keys come on court with you.

Types of long trousers

Long or short?

In good weather or on indoor courts, the shorts give you more airflow and room to move. Once it gets cold, especially first thing or at night, the long pair stops you losing heat between points, so you start the match already warm.

Just for the warm-up?

Plenty of players wear them to warm up and take them off when the match starts. If that's you, pick a pair that's easy to take off without removing your trainers, for example with a zip at the ankle.

FAQs

Can you play a whole match in long trousers?

Yes, mostly in winter or on windy outdoor courts. Choose a fabric that's stretchy and breathable so sweat doesn't build up as the match heats up.

What size should you choose?

Your usual size if they're a jogger or fitted cut. If you like them looser, or want to wear them over something else, you can go up a size.

Can you wear them over shorts?

Yes, and it's handy for warming up. Once you're warm, take them off and you're ready to play.

How should you wash them?

Cold wash and air dry. That way the technical fibres keep their stretch and the colour lasts longer.
