This one comes up all the time — “Do I really need lined shorts?”
Short answer: yes — if you train hard, move a lot, or sweat like a normal human being.
Let’s break it down.
What Are Lined (2-in-1) Shorts?
Lined, or “2-in-1” shorts, combine your workout shorts and compression layer into one piece. Instead of wearing separate underwear or compression shorts underneath, the liner is built in — giving you the support, comfort, and performance you need without extra layers.
It’s one of those “once you try it, you get it” things.
Why We Only Make Lined Shorts at HILO
At HILO, we built our brand around movement and balance — and lined shorts just make sense for the guys who actually live in them.
Here’s why:
✅ No chafing.
That inner liner moves with you, not against you. Perfect for runs, lifts, or long, sweaty sessions where friction would normally wreck your day.
✅ Better support.
No need for extra layers. The liner keeps everything secure so you can focus on your workout — not adjusting mid-set.
✅ Lightweight + breathable.
Our SwampStop™ liner is soft, quick-drying, and designed to keep you cool. It’s not tight or restrictive — just smooth, comfortable, and reliable.
✅ One less thing to think about.
No digging through drawers for compression shorts. Just grab your HILOs and go.
The Everyday Advantage
Even beyond training, the liner just works. Whether you’re running errands, on the go, or by the water, you get all-day comfort without needing a change of gear.
That’s the whole point behind The ONLY Short — it’s built for the gym, the trail, and everything in between. One short that does it all.
The Bottom Line
Lined shorts aren’t a gimmick — they’re a performance upgrade.
They move with you, breathe with you, and simplify your day.
That’s why every pair of HILOs comes lined — because we’d rather build the best short possible, not just another option on the rack.
Train for Balance.
