INNER SELF
Micro-Perforated Shorts With Built-In Bike Short Length: 13 Cm (5")
These athletic shorts combine a micro-perforated stretch nylon-blend outer shell with a built-in microfibre bike short, featuring Airgrid technology for quick-dry, breathable, and moisture-wicking performance. They are used for running and other athletic activities, with a drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, zip back pocket, side vents, and a reflective logo for visibility. Key specifications include a 13 cm (5") inseam, 95 GSM ultra-lightweight fabric, hidden silicone thigh trim, and patch pockets in the inner layer for a cell phone.

Product Insights
These micro-perforated shorts with a built-in 5-inch liner weigh roughly half that of typical training shorts at 95 GSM, with a 26% spandex compressive blend that prevents flapping and ride-up. The full-body Airgrid micro-perforation and side vents disperse heat more evenly than side-only vents, and the shorter cut and uniform inseam keep the runner cooler and provide a race-short silhouette. A silicone grip and compressive liner keep the phone pocket stable even at high cadence, while a heat-sealed hem and integrated waistband reduce chafing. The shorts air-dry faster than heavier synthetic wovens after a rinse. Compared to Brooks, this model includes dual phone pockets, a zip pocket, silicone grip, and reflective logo—features absent from the competitor—but has a shorter 5-inch shell and liner versus Brooks' 6-inch shell and 4-inch liner, offering a more ventilated and streamlined fit at the cost of some coverage.
