VS Wear manufactures custom field hockey shorts built for the low, crouched running and sudden changes of direction that define the sport. Every pair uses lightweight, quick-dry fabric with four-way stretch, so players move freely from the first whistle to the final siren, no matter how long the match runs.
Shorts are factory-direct, which is where your club's 30 to 40% saving comes from, and design revisions stay unlimited through the process with no cut corners on fabric or construction to reach that price.
Not every player needs the same cut of short, so our range covers several fits built on the same fabric and construction standards used across the whole field hockey range.
Men's hockey shorts come in a classic athletic fit, women's hockey shorts feature a tailored, female-specific design, and junior hockey shorts are cut in youth sizing with exactly the same quality construction as the adult range. This means a club does not need to compromise fit for any group in order to keep the whole squad in matching colours.
Compression shorts are also available as a close-fitting support option for players who prefer extra muscle support underneath their match shorts, and training shorts offer a lightweight practice-session option separate from match day kit. Clubs often order training shorts specifically so players are not wearing out their match shorts during the training week.
Offering this range of fits in the one order also solves a genuine problem many clubs run into with off-the-shelf teamwear, where a single unisex cut is expected to suit every player regardless of body shape. A women's specific pattern fits differently through the hip and waist than a men's athletic cut, and treating that as a design decision rather than an afterthought makes a real difference to comfort over a full season.

Four-way stretch gives players unrestricted movement through the low, bent-over running position that field hockey demands, while lightweight, quick-dry fabric keeps shorts comfortable through a full match and ready again quickly for the next session.
Unrestricted movement through dodging, tackling and low running positions.
Elasticated waistband with internal drawcord for a fit that stays in place.
Built to withstand the physical demands of a full season on turf.
An elasticated waistband with internal drawcord gives players a secure fit they can adjust themselves rather than relying on elastic tension alone, which matters over a long match when a loose waistband becomes a genuine distraction. Reinforced stitching at the seams and stress points keeps shorts performing through repeated sliding, tackling and turf contact across a full season.
Turf surfaces are considerably more abrasive than a grass field, and shorts that were built for a different sport often show wear far sooner than expected once players start sliding and diving on synthetic turf regularly. We factor that abrasion into the reinforcement at high-contact points, rather than relying on a standard construction that was never tested against turf specifically.

Full sublimation printing delivers fade-resistant colours that hold up through a full season of matches and washing, so your club colours look as sharp in the last round as they did in round one.
Because the design is printed into the fabric itself rather than added on top, side panels, contrast piping and club branding stay crisp rather than cracking or lifting at the seams over time. This matters in particular for shorts, since the waistband and leg openings sit right at the points of greatest movement during a match.

Shorts are designed to match VS Wear field hockey jerseys for a complete team look, so ordering both together guarantees the colours and proportions line up exactly rather than being separately matched from two different jobs.
A shorts-only run is one of our most common hockey orders. Clubs whose jerseys are holding up but whose shorts have taken a beating on the turf come to us to replace just the shorts, and our design team colour-matches the new pair to the existing top from your Pantone references or a sample garment.
On synthetic turf the shorts wear through long before the jersey does, so replacing a full kit every time rarely makes sense. Ordering shorts on their own keeps a squad uniform without discarding jerseys that still have a season or two left in them, and it spreads the club's uniform spend across more years.
