Product Insights
I.FIV5's Minimalist Stretch Short With No Undergarments 7" Length, CAD 59 and in stock, is a recycled-PET/spandex activewear short whose core promise is a minimalist, hardware-free fit: a stitch-only faux fly that never opens, a flat internal drawstring waist with no exterior hardware or dangling cord, a heat-bonded hem under 0.5 mm instead of a raised stitched ridge, and a 7-inch inseam that lands mid-thigh, two inches longer than the common 5-inch category cut. The 90% recycled-bottle polyester, 10% spandex knit wicks and dries faster than virgin polyester, while Polygiene—a licensed Swedish silver-salt finish used by outdoor and ski brands—activates with sweat to stop odor-forming bacteria and buy extra wears between washes, though it works on the fabric only and not as a deodorant, so smoke and body-oil odors pass through. Tradeoffs are built in: sweat can show as visible dark patches that feel damp on the skin before drying fast, the sealed heat-bonded leg opening gives up a little airflow for the stitch-free edge, care requires skipping fabric softener and bleach to protect the silver finish and bonded hem, and the size ladder tops out at X-Large across all three colorways—Black and Grey as neutrals and Mossy Green as the only non-neutral—with all twelve size and color combinations in stock at the same CAD 59 and no upcharge, leaving no larger size to move into. The product therefore trades maximum ventilation, a full zip fly, an invisible sweat signature, and a higher size ceiling for a no-stitch, no-hardware, odor-resistant, recycled-fabric short meant to stay put through runs and jumps.

Recommendation for i.fiv5 brand activewear
Also, try Simons. Their house brand activewear (i.fiv5) is great and often on deep markdown, and I’ve seen or scored some other really great sales on high quality gear there too.
