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 ASOS 4505 range uses premium fabrics for durability, flexibility and comfort during a range of movements, from strength work to cardio or just exploring the outdoors. 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 a mixed cardio and weight resistance training session.
The shorts have a relaxed fit, helping to keep you cool even during intense cardio sessions. There’s a small split in the seam which really helps with freedom of movement too.
The drawstring is on the outside and adds a little extra bulk. But the waistband is well fitting and comfortable even after an hour in the gym.
There are two side pockets without zips so there are no parts to dig into your body. This makes them a great choice for floor work like sit-ups, yoga and stretching. The shorts are quick-drying, too, which is useful for both indoor and outdoor sessions.
