SHORTS
Saltylines shorts are made for workouts where freedom of movement comes first. None of them has front seams: the Aura Seamless Shorts and the Nara Seamless Shorts are knitted in a single piece with a firm waistband, and the Aurora Biker Shorts move the seams to the sides, with a biker length and a back pocket.
They work for yoga, Pilates, the gym and running, and the Aurora is also great for indoor cycling. With no seams at the front, they prevent chafing between the thighs during squats, lunges and runs. Sizes XS to XL depending on the style: the Aura is one size, XS to L; the Nara is one size, XS to XL; and the Aurora comes in individual sizes, XS to L.
Designed and made in Medellín, with shipping across Colombia and to over 100 countries.

Why choose compression shorts?
Compression shorts fit close to your body and move with you: they support your waist and core, don't ride up or shift while you train, and give you full freedom at the hips and knees. That's why they're one of the most comfortable pieces for training in the heat, for leg-heavy classes or whenever you want to feel secure without thinking about what you're wearing.
- Support where you need it: the Aura Seamless Shorts and the Nara Seamless Shorts have a firm waistband that holds your waist during core work, jumps and squats.
- Free movement: none of our shorts has front seams, so nothing rubs or shows when you flex your hips.
- Less chafing between the thighs: the seamless styles have no seams rubbing between your thighs, which you'll notice when running and in long classes.
- More coverage when you want it: the Aurora Biker Shorts have a biker length, cover more of your thigh and add a back pocket for your keys or card.
Materials and technology
Our shorts are built in two ways:
- Seamless technology (Aura and Nara): knitted in a single piece, in 92% nylon and 8% elastane, with no front or side seams. The result is a piece that adapts like a second skin, looks clean from every angle and, thanks to its stretch, comes in one size. The Aura has a ribbed knit and even compression; the Nara, a highly stretchy ribbed knit that goes up to size XL.
- Polyester and elastane (Aurora): a soft technical fabric with the seams moved to the sides, so nothing shows at the front, not even in deep squats.
In both cases, elastane is the fiber that provides stretch and support. That's why it's worth protecting it from heat: below, we explain how to wash your shorts so they keep their shape.
Size and fit guide
To choose your size, measure your waist at its narrowest point and your hips at their widest, and compare your measurements with our size guide. These are the ranges for each style:
| Shorts | Construction | Sizes | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aura Seamless Shorts | Seamless, waistband, even compression | One size, XS to L | Yoga, Pilates, gym and running |
| Nara Seamless Shorts | Ribbed seamless knit, firm waistband | One size, XS to XL | Yoga, Pilates, gym and running |
| Aurora Biker Shorts | Side seams, biker length and back pocket | XS, S, M and L | Indoor cycling, gym, Pilates, yoga and running |
In one-size pieces, the fit changes with your size: it feels gentler in the smaller sizes and more compressive in the larger ones. If you have questions, read what one size means. For the Aurora, if you're between two sizes, the smaller one will give you more hold and the larger one a more relaxed fit.
Complete your set with our sports tops: the Aurora pairs with the Aurora Top, the Nara with the Liora Top and the Aura with the Sauda Top, in the same colors. If you prefer a longer length, check out our biker shorts or all our workout bottoms.
Dudas frecuentes
Preguntas frecuentes
Are compression shorts good for running?
Yes. The Aura Seamless Shorts and the Nara Seamless Shorts have no seams, so they prevent chafing between the thighs while you run, and their waistband stays in place. If you prefer more thigh coverage, the Aurora Biker Shorts also work for running.
Which shorts are best for the gym?
It depends on your routine. For squats, lunges and core work, the Aura and the Nara support your belly with their firm waistband. If you want more coverage and a pocket for your keys or card, choose the Aurora Biker Shorts.
What size shorts should I choose?
Measure your waist and hips and compare them with the size guide. The Aura is one size, XS to L; the Nara, XS to XL; and the Aurora comes in individual sizes, XS to L.
How do I wash my shorts so they don't lose their compression?
Hand wash them inside out in cold water with mild soap. Avoid bleach, fabric softener and the dryer, don't leave them soaking for long, and dry them in the shade: heat weakens the elastane, the fiber that provides compression.
Are the shorts see-through?
If you choose your size based on your measurements and protect the garment from heat, the fabric keeps its density. A size that's too small stretches the fabric too much, so it's important to check the size guide before you buy.
