We make shorts for a variety of activities, such as running, hiking, gym workouts and an active outdoor lifestyle. The main difference between our shorts is the materials, fit, length, pocket configuration, durability and weight.
All our shorts are designed on the component layering system. They do not have liners. For the best running experience, pair with one of our base liners.
If you are looking for a short for running only, check out the Sykes PX 5'' or 7'' and Graves DA 7''. Want a hybrid short, the Brim FT 9'' works great as a casual, active short for hikes and short runs. The Prospect PX2 8'' is a longer roomy running short that is great for the gym.

I think the px5 and the Tahoe cl5 in jet black size small would give me a fitting chance to unleash Quadzilla on the unsuspecting masses.
Training for my first race off of the roads and onto the trails. Sykes PX 5" & Tahoe CL 5" baseliner in black
Training for my first race off of the roads and onto the trails. Sykes PX 5" & Tahoe CL 5" baseliner.
I think the TAHOE CL 5" BASE LINER and SYKES PX 7" SHORT would be a sweet combo!
Hello! I’d love to win a pair of base later and shorts for my boyfriend so he can rep path in his first 100 miler! TahoeCL 5” baselayer and Sykes PX 5” shorts. Thank you!
Graves DA and Shasta HX sounds like a solid combo to me! I love that extra storage and extra compression!
The Sykes PX 5” and the 3” Liner is a combo you can’t go wrong with!! Summers are hot where I am, so shorts on the shorter side are perfect!!
I have 2 pairs of shorts and 1 baseliner. Really love them as the weather heats up it would be great to have more for my weekly rotation.
If I win the free giveaway I’d like the Sykes PX7” in Olive Grey and the Tahoe 5” CL baseliner.
Thanks!
Sykes PX 5" & Tahoe CL 5" baseliner . Both Black
Thanks
Would love to try the Sykes PX 7” and the Tahoe CL 8”
Sykes 5 inch with the Tahoe 5 inch liner has been my go to on runs since I discovered Path Projects! They’re so much more comfortable than my previous running shorts and I love the 2 piece system. Though, I have been mountain biking in the Brim 9 inch shorts, with my normal cycling bib underneath, and they’ve been great for that too…it’s tough to say what I want to win!
SYKES PX 7" SHORT
Great running shorts!
