About the Richardson RA7401B
The Barrage Stretch Woven Training Short is the warm-weather bottom in Richardson's performance line. The 5-ounce 94/6 polyester/spandex woven fabric provides 4-way stretch from the spandex content, and the durable water repellent (DWR) finish causes water to bead and roll off the fabric rather than soak in.
The pocket configuration is built for active use: a back zippered pocket secures keys, cards, or a phone, with a side hem vent for added range of motion. The waistband combines a jacquard elastic band with internal drawcords for a customizable fit. The silicone Richardson logo sits on the left hem.
For the matching top half in Richardson's athletic line, pair with the Richardson Vertex 1/4-Zip Pullover RA7500Q. When the weather turns and shorts aren't cutting it, the Richardson Charge Performance Fleece Jogger RA7201B covers the same athlete with a warmer fleece bottom. For a cross-brand comparison, the TriDri TD052 Men's Training Shorts is another performance training short option.
FAQ
What does DWR finish actually do?
DWR (durable water repellent) is a coating applied at the factory that makes water bead up and roll off the fabric rather than soak in. Most factory-applied DWR treatments are fluoropolymer-based, though the industry has been moving toward PFAS-free alternatives for environmental reasons. The treatment doesn't make the fabric waterproof, but it keeps light rain or sweat splash from saturating the surface.
Can the DWR finish be reapplied after it wears off?
Yes. DWR coatings gradually break down through use and washing, especially when exposed to heavy detergent, fabric softener, or repeated abrasion. The simplest way to test is to spray water on a clean, dry garment. If water beads and rolls off, the DWR is still working. If the fabric darkens with wet splotches and absorbs the water, it needs a refresh. DWR can often be reactivated with heat after washing, and when that no longer works, a spray-on or wash-in treatment from any outdoor retailer restores performance.
What decoration methods work on stretch poly/spandex shorts?
Heat transfer and embroidery are the standard choices for poly/spandex blends. Screen printing on polyester carries the risk of dye migration, where heat-sensitive polyester dyes sublimate during ink curing and bleed into the print. Polyester dyes can begin to release at temperatures around 265°F, while plastisol typically cures at 320°F. Low-cure inks and dye-blocker bases address this, but most decorators default to heat transfer for athletic shorts.
