Canterbury of NZ Baselayer Shorts
The Canterbury of NZ Baselayer Shorts are performance compression shorts designed to provide comfortable support during training and competition. Suitable for rugby, running, gym sessions and other field or court sports, they combine an ergonomic compression fit with heat regulating fabric and UPF 50+ UV protection to help you stay comfortable in changing conditions. Finished in Black, they are an ideal base layer for year round training.
Designed for unrestricted movement, the Baselayer Shorts feature an ergonomic contoured design with a comfortable elastic waistband that provides a secure fit without restricting movement. The close fitting construction makes them easy to wear beneath rugby shorts or training apparel.
Front and back gusset panels work with internal leg seams to improve mobility during running, sprinting, tackling and other dynamic movements. This construction helps the shorts move naturally with your body throughout training and competition.
The 6 inch inseam offers coverage without adding unnecessary bulk, while flat seams with coverstitching help minimise rubbing against the skin during longer training sessions or matches.
Made with heat regulating fabric, the Baselayer Shorts help maintain comfort across changing conditions. UPF 50+ UV protection provides additional protection during outdoor training, while the CCC logo on the bottom right hem completes the classic Canterbury finish.
Who are the Baselayer Shorts best for?
The Canterbury of NZ Baselayer Shorts are ideal for athletes looking for a supportive compression base layer beneath their playing shorts or training gear.
