The Motto in pale stone. Two low profile zip pockets, a liner phone pocket on the right thigh, and a mesh side panel that vents through the hip. 5 inch inseam in the Motto Fabric Blend, fast drying and moisture wicking. It is the only light colorway in the range, and the only one where the mark reads dark on a pale leg instead of the other way round.
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.
Almost everything we make runs dark. This one does not. Pale stone through the body, a lighter mesh panel down the side, and the mark sitting dark and legible on the left leg for once. It is the pair you reach for when the room is already hot.
Runs the hip down into the split hem in a paler shade again. It vents where you actually overheat and gives the leg somewhere to go at the top of a stride or the bottom of a squat. On a light colorway you can see exactly where the panel starts, which is the honest way to show it.
Both zip, both sit flat, and neither one swings when you move. The Hybrid carries a third on the back for the people who want it. This one does not, and that is the entire difference between the two.
Set into the liner on the right leg so the weight sits against the quad instead of bouncing at the waist. It is the feature reviewers bring up more than any other.
Run inside the waistband rather than out the front, so there is no knot to dig in under a belt, a plate carrier, or a barbell across the hips.

Flat pockets mean nothing catches on a bar or a bench, and the split hem gives the quad room instead of binding at depth.
Sat down is where a short usually rides up, bunches, or digs in at the front. Inner drawstrings and a stretch waistband are the reason this one does not.
