The original Kelter. Soft, stretchy, and built so the ball has somewhere to live that isn’t your waistband.

Playly’s SofKnit fabric is an 80/20 nylon-elastane blend: moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and rated UPF 50+. Side-seam pockets hold a pickleball out of the way of your swing, and a low-profile zippered pocket in the back keeps keys or a phone put while you set up the kill shot. Elastic waistband with a logo drawstring, 7-inch inseam.
