Product Insights
The I.FIV5 Split-Hem Short 4-inch Length at 19.99 CAD, in stock and carrying one review, centers on a split-hem shell whose two side slits part at knee lift so the hip flexors stop working against the fabric; because split height is independent of the 4-inch inseam, it adds mobility beyond the length, while coverage comes from the high toggle waist, shell panels, and liner rather than the slit. The core promise is a supportive, odor-managed athletic short: the built-in bike-short liner cushions inner-thigh friction, holds support and patch-pocket storage in a micro-perforated layer under the shell, and carries silver-ion Polygiene odor defense that activates when sweat reaches it and lasts the garment's lifetime under cold gentle wash, low heat dry, and no softeners or bleach; Polygiene is EPA- and EU-registered, not generic odor control, and is the MOTION-line standard. The 88% recycled polyester/12% spandex mesh holds shape and strength through routine washing, but the main tradeoff is that laundering this recycled knit sheds about 55% more microfibers than virgin polyester. The reflective logo is night-only accent trim that lights under a direct beam, not ANSI/ISEA-rated visibility gear.
Verified claims

A short made for workouts and active days
Designed with active athletes in mind, these 4-inch shorts have two pronounced side slits that the brand says are for a better stride. The light, stretch recycled polyester fabric pairs with a built-in micro-perforated bike short with patch pockets, and the high waist has an adjustable toggle for a secure fit. Polygiene technology is also featured to eliminate odour and prevent bacteria growth, per the merchant.[1]
Hands-free pockets for your phone and small items
These shorts are built with a micro-perforated bike short underneath that has patch pockets, including one designed to hold a cell phone, so you can keep your phone on hand during workouts or everyday wear. The outer short also has a side-seam pocket opening just below the waistband for stashing small items.[1,2,3,4]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Split-Hem Short 4" Length: Choose this if you want loose, relaxed athletic shorts for active use, with a 4-inch (10 cm) inseam, two pronounced side slits stated by the brand to allow a better stride (a stated design purpose rather than a reported outcome), and a high waist adjustable with a toggle. They are made of light, stretch recycled polyester (89% recycled-polyester, 11% spandex) and include a built-in micro-perforated bike short with patch pockets, including one designed to hold a cell phone, plus Polygiene technology described by the merchant as eliminating odour and preventing bacteria growth. Note the relaxed, draping fit is based on how the shorts appear on the model shown, so fit on other bodies is not established.[1,2,3,5,6] | Retro Rounded Hem Shorts Length: 3.5": Choose this if you want short retro-style athletic shorts for outdoor or everyday wear: the merchant describes them as made of strong, supple, abrasion-resistant semi-stretch fabric with Polygiene technology intended to eliminate odor and prevent bacterial growth. They feature a 3.5 inch (9 cm) inseam, a drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, side slit pockets, and a rounded beveled hem with side slits for the retro look. They come in black or burnt/brick orange in sizes X-Small through X-Large, though the odor-control benefits are manufacturer claims rather than reported experiences.[7,8,9] | Perforated Lightweight Short 3" Length: Choose this if you want the merchant's lightest, shortest running short for high-intensity cardio: it has a 3-inch inseam, fully perforated lightweight stretch fabric (89% recycled polyester, 11% spandex), a breathable built-in microfibre jersey panty, and Polygiene odour- and bacteria-control technology. The elastic waist has an adjustable inner drawstring, and reflective elements add low-light visibility. Note that there are no pockets, which matters if you like to carry essentials on the go.[10] |

Tient bien en place mais j’ai retourné car la couleur me parlait moins. Assez fade.
