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.

The Sykes PK7 and the Tahoe 5” are great together.
Graves DA 7 and Tahoe CL 5
Sykes PX 5" and Tahoe liners would be awesome!
Jet black Sykes PX 5” and Tahoe CL 3” would be fantastic.
Sykes 5" and Tahoe 3"!!!
Wore the Sykes PX 5" with Tahoe CL 5" for my 50 miler and felt great the whole day. No chaffing and riding up.
Sykes PX 5” and Tahoe CL 3”
Pocket configuration and fabric durability make the Sykes my preferred running short. Keep the base liner short and keep it cool.
Sykes 5 and Tahoe 5”. I’ve been almost buying them for months!
Love the Sykes PX 5” and the Tahoe baselines!
Would love a pair of Graves DA 7" blue black and a pair of tahoe CL 5" frost grey!
Graves DA 7" (Blue Black) and Tahoe CL 5" (Frost Grey)
Really like the Tahoe 8” and the Prospects!
The Graves DA 7” and the Tahoe 5” liner are definitely where it’s at for me! I run hot, and this is a fantastic combo!
SYKES PX 5”. Finally, a perfect pair of running shorts. I love the three pockets for my long runs! I took a chance based on a feeling I got from PATH’s website and it was good one. Now I am hooked.
Would love a pair of Graves DA 7” and Tahoe CL 8” base liner. My new hat from you guys is awesome for long runs
