Cargo Gym Shorts Maverick - Dark Grey

Men's Dark Grey Cargo Gym Shorts Maverick – Cotton Sweat Shorts

The Maverick in dark grey are men's cargo gym shorts made from a dense sweat fabric with 80% cotton and 20% polyester, brushed on the inside. The elastic waistband pulls in with a black drawcord finished with engraved stainless-steel tips. Two open side pockets sit at the hips, with two patch cargo pockets further down the leg, closed by a flap and press stud. The Gym Generation logo is embroidered in white at the front of the thigh, standing out against the marled dark grey. Depending on the size, the shorts finish around knee length and are available from S to XL in a regular fit.

Flap cargo pockets for your phone and keys

The flap and press stud are what separate the leg pockets from a plain patch pocket: a phone stays put when you sit down or pick up the pace. The two pockets at the hips are left open for the things you want in and out quickly. Together that is more storage than most training shorts carry, and the reason the Maverick works away from the gym as well.

Cotton sweat fabric with a dense, structured drape

At 80% cotton, the Maverick has the weight and feel of a cotton gym short rather than a light performance short. The knit is tight and the fabric hangs heavier for it, while the remaining 20% polyester keeps it from stretching out over time. The inside is brushed, so it sits soft against the skin without the visible loops of French terry. Gym Generation has been developing gymwear in Switzerland since 2013.

Knee-length athletic shorts with a regular fit

The regular fit leaves room through the thigh without sitting loose on the leg, so the shorts follow a squat instead of riding up. The legs are cleanly hemmed rather than left raw, and the elastic waistband gives at the top rather than digging in.

Maverick Cargo Shorts – Frequently Asked Questions

Is charcoal the same as dark grey?
Charcoal is a particularly deep shade of grey. The fabric used for the Maverick is also marled, which gives the colour more depth and a softer look than solid black. The white embroidered logo stands out clearly against it.

How much freedom of movement do the shorts offer for training?
Enough for a full strength session – squats, lunges and presses included. The knee-length cut does not catch at the bottom of a squat. What the Maverick does not have is the stretch of an elastane short, so for sprints or anything explosive the V8 models are the better choice.

Are the shorts made from cotton?
Yes, 80% cotton with 20% polyester added for shape retention. If you prefer a lighter cotton short, the Cargo Gym Shorts in 100% cotton are the thinner alternative; the Maverick is the more substantial one, with an embroidered logo and flap closures on the cargo pockets.

How do the Maverick Cargo Shorts fit?
The Maverick runs true to a regular fit, in sizes S to XL. Most people take their usual size, and the drawcord handles the rest.
