Performance guaranteed

Separate Shorts & Base liner system

All of our shorts are unlined on purpose. By separating the short and liner, you’ll experience better performance and more versatility.
 

CHAFE-FREE

  • The base liner stays in place and wicks away moisture, allowing the short to move naturally with the body. 
     

PERSONALIZED PERFORMANCE

  • Personalize your experience depending on the task at hand, the season, and your preferences. View our guide here.
     

LESS LAUNDRY, MORE DURABILITY

  • We recommend washing your liners after each wear and washing your shorts every few wears. This reduces unnecessary laundry and extends the life of your shorts.

Technology

COOLITE MESH™

Coolite Mesh is for the extremist. This birdseye mesh fabric is ultra-light, super-wicking and insanely breathable. It’s a jacquard style knit with an extra measure of softness and loft to the fabric. You’ll feel that comfort against your skin along with a gentle compression effect from the spandex and polyester mix. The birdseye hole pattern keeps the cool air flowing even on the most scorching runs.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these liners are extremely comfortable and soft with excellent breathability. Many reviews highlight no chafing during runs of varying distances, from short training sessions to ultramarathons. The fabric quality and moisture-wicking performance are frequently praised. Common concerns include sizing inconsistencies—several customers report running large and recommend sizing down—and some experience riding up during runs. The 5-inch length receives more positive feedback than the 3-inch version. Users appreciate the separate liner and shorts system, though a few note minimal compression. Overall, customers report durability and suitability for running, hiking, and everyday wear.

    5 inch liner is so comfortable that almost feels like it is not there.

    I was not convinced that the 3” Tahoe liner were not going to ride up. They felt great, however didn’t pass a basic jump/high knees test. Maybe my quads aren’t the right shape for the design, but I also was not willing to roll the dice and commit to wearing these under my Altira shorts on a big trail race day.

    Disappointing

    First, sizing is way off assuming this is supposed to be a snug supportive fit. M could easily be an XL. More of a boxer brief that is also crazy long in the rise.

    Was expecting a fitted garment with some “pouch support” to keep things from bouncing, shifting, and chafing. Instead got a huge shapeless piece that would stick out several inches past the legs and hips of the half tights.

    Maybe that’s the design.

    Extremely comfortable. Looks like great quality. Ive had one of these for a couple of years with no problems. Only other brand that may come close is ExOfficio, and those generally do last many years.
