{"product_id":"rothco-army-physical-training-pt-shorts","title":"Rothco Army Physical Training PT Shorts","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Army Physical Training PT Shorts are men's moisture-wicking workout shorts built to meet APFU optional wear standards, featuring a polyester shell, spandex-blend side panels, and a built-in boxer-style liner. The shell is 100% polyester, the side panels are 90% polyester\/10% spandex, and the liner is 80% nylon\/20% spandex. Available in sizes XS through 3XL in black with gold Army print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAPFU-Compliant Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rothco Army PT Shorts meet APFU optional wear regulations, making them suitable for authorized military physical training sessions. Gold Army print on the lower left leg and flexible side panels give the shorts a recognizable, regulation-appropriate look while allowing a full range of motion during dynamic movements. Soldiers and trainees who need gear that fits within APFU guidelines can wear these without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMoisture Management During High-Output Training\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100% polyester shell fabric is designed to pull sweat away from the skin and disperse it across the outer layer for faster evaporation. This keeps the Rothco Army PT Shorts from clinging during sustained effort, whether the session is on a track, in a gym, or outdoors in variable conditions. The moisture-wicking construction works alongside the spandex-blend side panels to maintain comfort as intensity increases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSupport and Storage Built In\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring keeps the Rothco Army PT Shorts secure without restricting movement. The boxer-style liner, made from an 80% nylon\/20% spandex blend, adds support during lateral and dynamic movements without adding bulk. Two pockets handle small essentials: a hidden inner waistband pocket fits keys or money, and a separate pocket within the left-leg liner keeps additional items accessible but out of the way during training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAPFU Optional Wear Compliant:\u003c\/strong\u003e meets APFU optional wear regulations with gold Army print on the lower left leg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture-Wicking Shell:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% polyester outer fabric pulls sweat away from skin for faster evaporation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Side Panels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90% polyester\/10% spandex panels support a full range of motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoxer-Style Liner:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80% nylon\/20% spandex liner provides support during dynamic movements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Waistband:\u003c\/strong\u003e elastic waist with drawstring for a secure, customizable fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Pockets:\u003c\/strong\u003e hidden inner waistband pocket plus a liner pocket on the left leg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRothco\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShell Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100% Polyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSide Panel Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e90% Polyester \/ 10% Spandex\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLiner Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e80% Nylon \/ 20% Spandex\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack \/ Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWaist Closure\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eElastic waistband with drawstring\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePockets\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2 (inner waistband pocket; left-leg liner pocket)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMoisture Wicking\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIntended Wearer\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAdult men\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSizes Available\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eXS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompliance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAPFU optional wear standards\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Rothco Army PT Shorts suit active-duty soldiers, trainees, and fitness-focused buyers who want APFU-compliant workout shorts with built-in liner support and moisture management.

They include the gold Army print on the lower left leg and the flexible side-panel construction that APFU optional wear guidelines require. Buyers should confirm their unit's current wear policy, as optional wear authorization can vary by command.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the liner made of, and does it replace a separate compression short?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe built-in boxer-style liner in the Rothco Army PT Shorts is made from an 80% nylon\/20% spandex blend and is designed to provide support during dynamic movements. Whether it replaces a separate compression garment is a personal preference; the liner is integrated and cannot be removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow do the pockets work during a run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Army PT Shorts include two pockets: a hidden inner waistband pocket sized for keys or folded bills, and a separate pocket inside the left-leg liner for additional small items. Both are designed to hold essentials securely during movement without creating visible bulk on the outside of the shorts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre these shorts moisture-wicking, and how does that work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The 100% polyester shell of the Rothco Army PT Shorts is a moisture-wicking fabric that draws sweat away from the skin and spreads it across the outer surface for faster evaporation. This reduces fabric cling during high-intensity or extended training sessions indoors or outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sizes are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Army Physical Training PT Shorts are available in XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL.
