Yonex Mens Team Wear 1 Badminton Shorts

Yonex 2975 Team Wear 1 is a plain-fit badminton short built from 100% polyester bird eye mesh at 150 GSM. The open mesh knit moves air and sweat out fast, and at 150 GSM the fabric stays light on court without going thin or see-through. It suits regular club play, coaching sessions and academy team kit.

Specifications

What 150 GSM bird eye mesh actually means

GSM is grams per square metre, the standard measure of fabric weight. For badminton shorts:

• Below 130 GSM feels flimsy and can turn translucent when wet.
• 140 to 170 GSM is the usable band for court wear. Light enough for long rallies in a warm hall, opaque enough to wear without worry.
• Above 200 GSM starts holding heat and sweat weight, which is why heavier gym shorts feel sluggish on court.

Bird eye mesh is a knit with small open cells rather than a flat weave. More surface area is exposed to air, so sweat spreads and evaporates instead of pooling, and the fabric lifts off the skin instead of clinging. This is the same reason it is used on the back panels of match jerseys.

Who these shorts suit

• Club and academy players who play three or more sessions a week and want a plain short that survives repeated washing.
• Coaches and beginners who need a proper court short rather than cotton track shorts.
• Teams and academies buying matching kit, since Team Wear 1 is the plain uniform line.

Who should look elsewhere

• If you want zip pockets for phone and keys, this is a plain team short. Look at the shorts and lowers range for pocketed models.
• If you play in a cold hall in winter, a full-length lower will be more comfortable than any short.
• If you want a printed or graphic design, the Team Wear line is intentionally plain.

Picking the right size

Yonex apparel sold in India runs closer to the body than most Indian sportswear labels. Measure your waist at the natural waistline and compare against the size chart on this page rather than ordering your usual jeans size. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, because the mesh knit has limited stretch.

Frequently asked questions

What are badminton shorts made of?

Most badminton shorts are made of polyester, often in a mesh or micro-knit construction, because polyester wicks sweat and dries quickly. These Yonex 2975 shorts are 100% polyester in a bird eye mesh at 150 GSM. Cotton is avoided because it absorbs sweat, gets heavy and stays damp.

What GSM is best for badminton shorts?

140 to 170 GSM is the practical range for badminton shorts. It is light enough for fast footwork in a warm indoor hall while staying opaque when wet. These shorts sit at 150 GSM, in the middle of that band.

Can badminton shorts be used for the gym or running?

Yes. Polyester mesh shorts work for gym sessions, running, tennis and table tennis. The main difference from running shorts is length and cut, since badminton shorts are cut slightly longer and looser to allow deep lunges.

How should badminton shorts be washed?

Machine wash cold, inside out, with mild detergent. Skip fabric softener, because it coats the fibres and reduces how well polyester wicks sweat. Line dry rather than tumble dry.

Are these shorts genuine Yonex?

Yes. SportsUncle sells only original Yonex stock sourced through Sunrise Sports (India) Pvt. Ltd., the authorised Yonex importer for India. See the full Yonex range.
