Shorts and base liners comparison

Shorts and base liners comparison

BY PATH PROJECTS APRIL 16, 2019

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.

Here is a 1 page short comparison + our shorts size guide. Below you can find our short details with images.

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.

Brian,

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.
