Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing & Fit
What is the difference between Classic and Relaxed Fit short?
What is the difference between Classic and Relaxed Fit short?
Classic fit works well for most body types. If you would consider your quads or trunk to be on the large side, opt for the Relaxed fit. You get + 2” in the seat, thigh, and leg opening.
Should I get the 3”, 5”, or 8” liner?
Should I get the 3”, 5”, or 8” liner?
The 5” is the most popular and has enough coverage to protect from rubbing between your thighs. The 8” is best for full coverage and your longest distances. The 3” wears more like brief with some additional coverage.
Some runners opt to size down on their liners for a more compressive fit.
Functionality
How does the liner and short work together?
How does the liner and short work together?
The liner stays in place because it doesn’t have shorts (weighed down by what you carry in your pockets) pulling and moving the liner. The short has a little room to move up and down without the liner moving at all.
Some runners opt to size down on their liners for a more compressive fit.

Why don’t your shorts bounce, even with the pockets fully loaded?
Why don’t your shorts bounce, even with the pockets fully loaded?
We use Toray Primeflex™ fabric. It’s a 100% polyester 4-way mechanical stretch fabric. This is the key. Spandex, found is almost every running short, is very bouncy. Our fabric has the right amount of give, but doesn’t bounce like a rubber band.
