Best used: 45 °F - 100 °F
360° waistband pocket system: side drop-in pocket, back YKK zip pocket (phone/valuables) and 2 elongated pockets (soft flasks etc.).
Split sides add the mobility you need for uphill climbs, while the longer, short-tight liner helps prevents chafing.
Flatlock-stitched compressive liner with silicone grippers at the hems for extra support and prevents chafing.
Laser-perforated front panels at high-heat zones.
Rear pole carry system with reflective webbing.
Lightweight Cordura® outer with ergonomic design is built for rugged terrain.
I’m very particular about my running bottoms, and these shorts did not disappoint. The inseam didn’t ride up or catch, so I had zero issues with chafing. The material feels light and breathable making them comfortable even on longer runs, especailly in the hot Phoenix weather. My favorite feature is the waistband—it securely holds a 500ml flask along with my poles, which is a huge plus for trail runs.
