Always Leave With What You Need

Men's Cut Bottoms

Tested Over Thousands of Miles

These shorts have been through many rounds of testing, and thousands of miles. Including an 888 miles circumnavigation of Iceland in 2022, and 570 miles on the Empire State Trail in 2024. From stitch style, pocket depth, and fabric selection, every bit of these shorts were intentional.

Substance Over Flash | All the Pockets

You wanted more usable pockets. So did we. We tried different zipper orientations, different sizes for the nutrition mesh pockets, and different placements for the inner key pocket. Get what you need with ease.

Any Distance from 100 Meters to 100 Miles

Training. Racing. Sprinting. Lifting. Laundry. We designed these shorts to cover whatever you may need. from left to right, Dan is wearing the Speed 3", (with 4 pockets and side split) Jeremy is wearing the Distance 4" (with 6 pockets and side split), and Etan is wearing the Ultra 5" (with 8 pockets).

These are V1 and the V2 were shortened to be a true version of their inseam length, and made with a fabric that is 2/3 the weight of V1.

Find the Right Fit

Shorts are an important decision. Let us help you find the right pair.

This table groups and compares the shorts we offer. We have a 2, 3, 4 inch split short, with more pockets the longer the inseam. Our 5" Ultra classic short adds two hand pockets. And the Half Tight provides is the only non classic short.

We are always working on improvements. Several shorts have "V2" (Version 2) in the title where we adjusted the cut to be more closely aligned to the stated length. This new fabric cuts the weight by 2/3, and improved wicking properties.
