Key Features

• Quick dry: The material sheds sweat fast so shorts feel comfortable between intervals and dry quickly after a run.
• 5 in inseam: The 5 in cut balances coverage and freedom of movement for running, gym training and hiking.
• Pockets: Multiple pockets give room for small essentials so you can carry keys, a phone or energy gels without a belt pack.
• Drawstring waist: The adjustable drawstring keeps the fit secure during sprinting or dynamic moves.

Who It's For

Runners who prefer a midlength short that is not too long or too short will appreciate the 5 in inseam and the freedom of movement the spandex blend provides.

Those who should look elsewhere include athletes seeking compression liners, heavier duty trail shorts, or technical features like waterproofing or builtin GPS pockets. If you need a longer 7 in inseam or a performance liner for race use, a different model may be a better fit.
