Fabric
Italian mill fabric for tighter gauge, even perforations, and better shape recovery.
Care
Cold wash, no fabric softener, and line drying protect the Italian-knit fabric's stretch and moisture-wicking.
Breathability
Micro-perforated 115gsm fabric dries quickly and maximizes airflow.
Sun protection
UPF 50+ blocks 98% of UV rays.
Chafe prevention
3-inch inseam and split side slits prevent chafing and allow unrestricted stride.
Production pedigree
Sewn in Canada, marathon-tested, designed for 10+ years: premium production at clearance price.
Washing
Pre-rinse sweat and then machine wash cold in a mesh bag without fabric softener.
Drying
Air dry in shade; never tumble dry to preserve elastane.
Storage
Fold to store; hanging distorts the fit.
Longevity
Proper care—cold wash, air drying, folded storage—supports the fabric's 10–20 year design lifespan.
Material
Italian-milled 85% recycled polyester, 15% elastane, built for a 10-20 year lifespan.
Race testing
Marathon/track-tested, friction points removed for unrestricted movement.
Clearance status
Sale price $29.95 marks a discontinued colorway with limited remaining stock.
Lightweight fabric
The shell fabric weighs 115gsm, exceptionally light for a running short—on the same order as race-day singlets—so it resists absorbing perspiration weight during hot marathons.
Sun protection convenience
The built-in UPF 50+ rating eliminates the need to apply sunscreen under the shorts on long summer runs and avoids sunscreen-melt chafing.
Air-dry time
In typical indoor conditions, the featherweight 3-inch shorts dry in under 4–6 hours.
