Separate Shorts & Base liner system

All PATH 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

TORAY PRIMEFLEX™

The flex is in the spiral yarn. This configuration gives the fabric a built-in mechanical stretch that goes to all 360 degrees of adventure. Thanks to this technology, the fabric will stretch and recover without using heavier water-absorbing elastics like Spandex. Upshot: outstanding breathability, abrasion resistance and a softer feel against your skin. All this at 40% the weight of the old school stretchy stuff. PrimeFlex is both eco and techno. The fabric is partially made from a corn-based material that uses less water during processing. There’s comfort from mile one to mile one hundred.

TRIPURE™ ELASTIC

Tripure is a high tech nano fiber that delivers incredible comfort and performance. The Benchmarks are superior stretch and recovery and fined-tuned temperature regulation. Dries quickly, anti-microbial, static free and durable beyond all normal expectations. The humble waistband gets its 15 minutes of athletic fame.

Love the 'Phone Pocket
I run about 25-30 miles a week and always carry my 'phone (to track the run on Strava). I have been using UA SpeedPocket shorts and they work fairly well, but the pocket is a little small for the 'phone, so making sure it is secure is a little iffy. But the rear zipper pocket in the Sykes PX1. 0 is ...

Good, but
The shorts arrived on time and look really good, and are really comfortable to wear, the only slight problem I have is with the pockets, the two side pockets are too small for gels to lay flat, I had to turn the top of the gel over to fit it in, which caused a lump, just a small thing but if the poc...

Good fit, no complaints! I would say they are slightly shorter than other 7” shirts I have from other companies, but that’s not a bad thing. Haven’t had a chance to use them on trails yet (still too much snow) .
