ASOS has created its own line of active performance-wear called ASOS 4505. It’s designed for a wide range of athletes: from performance pros to those looking to kick-start their journey into fitness.
The range uses premium fabrics for durability, flexibility and comfort throughout a range of movements, and the Icon Training Shorts are no exception.
The shorts are well constructed, with a simple design and medium weight and thickness. They feel soft and the material has plenty of stretch and give, so you don’t feel restricted. As such, they’re a good choice for mixed cardio and weight training.
The shorts have a relaxed fit, helping to keep you cool even during intense cardio sessions. There’s a small split in the seam, too, which really helps with freedom of movement.
The drawstring is on the outside and adds a little extra bulk, but the two side pockets come without zips, so there are no parts to dig into your body.
The shorts are quick-drying, too, so come into their own when the going gets sweaty.
