What is the difference between a padel shirt and a generic sports shirt?
Padel shirts are specifically designed for the movements involved in the game: twists, lateral movements, and strokes. They usually feature cuts and fabrics tailored to these demands.
How many shirts should a regular player have?
Ideally, you should have at least three or four shirts to rotate between training sessions and matches, ensuring proper hygiene between uses.
Which shirt is best for playing in summer?
Those made of ultra-lightweight fabric with ventilation panels. Also, look for options with UV protection if you play outdoors.
Is it advisable to play in a cotton shirt?
It's not recommended. Cotton absorbs sweat and takes a long time to dry, which can cause discomfort and chafing. Technical materials are always the best choice.
Are there brands that specialize in padel shirts?
Yes, there are many well-known brands like Bullpadel and Nox that specifically design padel clothing, keeping the player’s needs in mind.
Where should I store shirts after a match?
Avoid leaving them wet in your sports bag. The best option is to air them out immediately after playing and wash them as soon as possible.
Can I use the same shirt for other sports?
Yes, many technical padel shirts are also suitable for other sports like running, tennis, or gym workouts, as long as the design allows it.
What care tips extend the life of the shirt?
Wash them in cold water, avoid using a dryer or fabric softeners, and air dry. This will help preserve their technical properties for longer.
