What makes good running shorts




















And at a three-inch split silhouette, they'll remain out of your way in that home stretch and more than adhere to our penchant for a short short this summer. Sweat-wicking, lightweight and stretchable, Lululemon's Surge shorts hit every base and bring it home.

Not only does the four-way stretch ensure total freedom of movement, but the roomier-than-usual fit means glutes and thighs will feel particularly unrestricted — especially good for those longer-distance efforts. Going for broke at the height of summer? The waistband loop means you can stash your shirt for the final stretch. Drawing on that fastest of fast cats the cheetah for its design, the Adidas Fast two-in-one running shorts have the tech spec to back up their bold motif.

With their drawcord closure and high-rise back, they promise to stay in place on the move, while a supportive inner tight benefits from a phone pocket that won't impede your stride. Made from Primeblue recycled fabric, these are typically sustainably minded from Adidas, while not compromising on street smarts thanks to degree reflective details.

To be only 5cm long and incorporate a pocket for all essentials is no mean feat, but the Nike AeroSwift shorts have managed it. In fact, the AeroSwift technology is all-round impressive here, with a precision fit for mobility and breathability and unparalleled lightweight comfort.

That's then amplified by a Flyvent elastic waistband, brief liner and side splits for additional ventilation. They're a relaxed pair of race shorts sure to take you to new bests. A brand known to fuse style with speed, District Vision has partnered with Mr Porter to take that sentiment to brand new heights. A colour-block version of its signature Spino shorts, the moisture-wicking stretch-shell and internal back pockets ensure these are more than just a pretty piece of kit.

Best of all, though, is that per cent of profits from the sale go to Mr Porter's Health In Mind fund, a Movember-powered foundation supporting men's health causes the world over. Run good; do better. All jokes aside, there's more to a three inch inseam than mere Milo Ventimiglia styling. Brooks Sherpa short is designed so nothing gets in the way between you and your personal best ambitions. The logic goes: the shorter the short, the speedier the run and it's pretty much as simple as that.

Miraculously, given their minimal construction, Brooks has also managed to build in two expandable hip pockets and a bungee loop for your keys. If there's one brand urban runners ought to know about, it's Wolaco. Taking inspiration from the streets of New York City, its activewear is inspired by those more chaotic environments than the open road.

Enter the Spring short, a super-lightweight runner boasting a sweat-proof hip pocket that'll neatly store phone, keys, wallet and mask without obstructing your stride as you traverse traffic lights, pavements and pedestrians.

Here's a wallet-friendly option that offers much the same careful engineering as those at the more premium end of the running shorts price scale. They provide support and moisture management that allow you to forgo wearing underwear. There are also running shorts without liners, if you find them uncomfortable. Wearing compression shorts underneath unlined shorts can help prevent chaffing and provide support.

As mentioned, compression shorts are an alternative to regular, lined running shorts. There are also other styles, such as split running shorts and V-notch shorts. Running compression shorts fit tight to your body, like spandex. Their snug design can help provide muscle support. Compression running shorts offer the most flexibility. The lack of moving, loose fabric makes them a strong choice for chafing prevention.

The length of compression shorts varies based on personal comfort. V-notch shorts can be quickly identified by the upside-down V-shape cutout on the side of the leg seam. This cutout allows a runner a greater range of motion compared to if there was no indent.

These running shorts have a looser fit compared to compression shorts. Instead, they are split and made with overlapping fabric. This allows even more flexibility than the V-notch shorts. The split can range in length. Designed to be a lightweight PR-ready race-day short, the Wildcat AT features Toray Airtastic fabric for breathability, Tripure elastic for comfort, and a pair of pockets for storage.

For in addition to a rear zippered compartment for keeping your valuables secure, it also comes with a set of drop-in pouches at the hips for easy access on the run. Upon its founding in , Tracksmith changed the running industry for the better, releasing a range of premium athletic apparel that managed to balance its performance-proven construction with a stylish, heritage-inspired aesthetic.

Rabbit is a brand founded for runners by runners, born out of the need to make a pair of shorts that were specifically designed to meet the demands of the sport. In the case of their trail-oriented FKT model, this means that everything about them has been engineered for comfort, including their split leg and 3-inch inseam, their flat waistband, as well as their scratch-free RabbitKNIT liner.

But the part is that thanks to a pair of side pockets for storing gels, you also can pack out your trash so that the trail surfaces stay clean. Up until recently, running short liners were largely limited to briefs in silhouette, making them unobtrusive to wear but prone to shifting and thus chafing when on the move.

In practice, this means that the Distance Short has been crafted from an ultra-light polyester blend with a deep slit at the sides to improve your range of motion. Add to that a permanent anti-odor treatment, a minimalist waistband, as well as a bounce-free carry pocket and you have a pair of shorts whose prowess speaks for itself. After Tom Daly and Max Vallot launched District Vision back in , the Los Angeles-based brand was quick to make a name for itself because of its purposefully-designed apparel and its holistic approach to running.

Founded in the heat of the London Olympics and named after the track where Sir Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four-minute mile, Iffley Road is a brand well-steeped with a performance pedigree.

Suffice to say — they mean business. However, thanks to such innovations as an expandable sweat-proof phone pocket, a built-in key carabiner, and a drawcord-hiding double waistband, these are much more than an overpriced fashion piece.
