Our most reviewed short, and the one people describe the same way every time: it does everything. Compression liner built in with a phone pocket, zip pockets that actually close, and a split hem that stays out of the way. Train in it, run in it, then wear it the rest of the day.
He wears a Large in these. When he wants a looser fit, he goes XL. These run true to size, so match the size chart rather than sizing down. If you are well over six foot, one reviewer at 6 foot 8 found the length short on him.
Tan is the colourway that shows the work. The grid runs across the whole face of the short, the stitching sits proud of it, and the mark reads clean against it. Nothing here is hiding behind a dark finish.
Built in rather than sold separately, and it holds position. One reviewer ran eight hours in the mountains and reported no chafing and no riding up. That is the whole test.
Set into the compression layer, not the shell, so the weight sits against the leg instead of swinging off the waistband. It is the feature reviewers name most.
Smooth zip pockets, so a key or a card is where you left it at the end of the session. Reviewers call out the zips specifically, which almost never happens with shorts.
The outer seam opens instead of closing off the leg, so the hem gets out of the way at the top of the stride and under a squat rather than pulling across the quad.

Reviewers list training, running, swimming and lounging in the same sentence. Nothing about this short asks you to change out of it when the session ends.
Set into the compression layer rather than the shell, so a phone rides against the leg instead of swinging off the waistband. It is the feature reviewers name more than any other.
Ninety three reviews at 4.9. Career SOF veterans, Marines, runners and lifters, including a mountain ultra and a reviewer at 6 foot 8 who tells you the length runs short on him. Read all of them.
