Separate Shorts & Base liner system

All Path Projects shorts are unlined. For the best performance, pair with one of our base liners.
Here are the advantages of our separate short and base liner system:

INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION

  • The base liner stays in place and wicks away moisture.
  • The short rides on the base liner and can move during a run without rubbing against your skin.
  • This virtually eliminates all chafing.

PERSONALIZED PERFORMANCE

  • With our base liners you have a choice of two fabrics and four lengths.
  • This allows you to dial in a base liner based on current weather conditions and personal preference.

Technology

Acrofuse™ Stitchless Seams

Lighter, stronger, and more comfortable than traditional sewn seams, Acrofuse™ technology securely bonds together fabric to create a smooth seam that also allows the fabric to stretch without inhibition.

LEAVE YOUR VEST AT HOME

The Century Short is our answer to the question, “how do you run 100+ miles without a vest?” After years in development, four rounds of prototypes, and thousands of miles tested, we landed on an integrated 360-degree mesh storage belt. Our field testers all packed their belts differently — soft flask in the front or back? — so we opted to leave it up to you, with no set compartments. Ultra custom for ultra distance.

  • 360° storage belt comfortably fits 500ml of hydration front or back, plus essentials

  • Ultralight Toray Fabric with stitchless Acrofuse™ bonded seams

  • Center back zip pocket-in-pocket 

  • Versatile 5" design with side split for range of motion

    Excellent shorts

    Tested at the Badger 100 recently. These flow really nice and have great storage. Especially for loading with wrappers and cups after leaving the aid station with travel calories.

    Phone pocket zipper security is reassuring!

    Good, well made shorts.

    Lightweight, well made from quality materials shorts. The main issue for me is the fit. One size is a little too tight in the waist while the rest fits just right, the next size up fits great in the waist but the rest is a bit too large. Also, personally I wish the pockets were a little larger. Still, these are quality shorts and I would recommend buying them.

    Love these!!!!

    Finally got these shorts out on a long run and they were great!. Lightweight, breathable, the storage was amazing and most of all....comfortable. Was worried that the mesh belt area would sit too high but it didn't.

    Storage held the water bottle more secure than my running belt, phone was held tight and pockets were easily accessible.

    Highly recom these shorts

    Good shorts

    Lightweight and well made. My main issue with these shorts was the sizing. Size L was too tight in the waist, but the rest fits just right. Size XL, which I ended up keeping, fits great in the waist but the rest is too loose. Also, personally I would prefer even larger pockets for storing. Still, these clearly are quality shorts, so I would recommend buying them.

    Hey Sebastian! We understand the challenge of being between sizes, where one size fits better through the legs while the next size provides a more comfortable waistband. We also appreciate your feedback about wanting larger pockets and will be sure to share it with our product team!
