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.

Brim FT 9" in Phantom and Tahoe CL 3” baseliner. Love my Path Projects!
I dipped my toe in with a single pair of liner and shorts. I’m hooked!
For the Summer I would love the Sykes 5” with the Tahoe 5”! Color isn’t important…I would be grateful for any.
SYKES PX 7 & Tahoe CL 5 y’all
Sykes PX5 and Tahoe CL5!
I think Tahoe 5" CL liner and Sykes PX 7” shorts would be a good combo. I live in a high humidity state and I think this would work well on a trail run.
