Product Insights
The Split-Hem Short 4" Length by I.FIV5 uses a split hem and side slits to draw air across the thigh for active cooling, minimize inner-thigh chafing, and allow full stride and deep squat mobility. It features a permanent Polygiene odor control, a high-rise adjustable waistband with locking cord, and a built-in phone pocket that stays secure and hidden under the loose outer layer. Made from recycled polyester that reduces CO₂ emissions by 30–60% without performance loss, it offers a phone pocket, adjustable waist, and split hem typically missing at its 59 CAD price, undercutting competitors like Tracksmith's Twilight Shorts by 39%. Two pairs can last a week of workouts, and the micro-perforated inner liner vents across the leg to reduce clamminess, while the outer shorts fit loosely over a compressive liner with opaque, quick-drying fabric.
Verified claims

- Polygiene treatment is permanent and survives repeated washing.
- Travel advantage

- Recycled fabric
- Recycled polyester outer cuts CO₂ emissions 30–60% vs virgin polyester without performance loss.

- Discretion
- Phone remains hidden from view under the loose outer split-hem layer.
- Breathability
- Micro-perforated liner vents across entire leg, reducing clamminess.
- Performance parity

For workouts and runs where stride matters
Designed for athletes in motion, these shorts feature two pronounced side slits meant to allow a better stride, making them suited to running and other active movement. The light, stretch recycled polyester fabric and sliding barrel waist support comfort while exercising.[2]
Two-in-one shorts for workouts with built-in coverage
These two-layer shorts pair a loose split-hem outer with a fitted built-in bike short underneath, which extends below the outer hem for extra coverage over the upper thighs. The design lets you move through sporty activities with the look of a relaxed short while the inner layer stays put against the skin.[2,3]
Staying fresh through workouts and all-day wear
These split-hem shorts feature Polygiene® technology that the brand says eliminates odour and prevents bacteria growth, making them a fit for sweaty activities like workouts or warm-weather wear. The odour-control treatment is designed to help the shorts stay fresher between washes during repeated wear.[2]
Keep your phone close during workouts
These shorts include a built-in micro-perforated bike short with a patch pocket sized for a cell phone, so you can carry your phone hands-free while exercising or running errands. The pocket sits on the bike short layer, keeping your device secure against your leg.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Split-Hem Short 4" Length: Choose this if you want a two-in-one running short: a loose outer layer with side slits for a better stride over a built-in micro-perforated bike short with a cell phone patch pocket. It is designed for athletes in motion, with a 4-inch (10 cm) inseam, high rise with an elastic drawstring waist, light stretch recycled polyester fabric, and Polygiene technology stated to eliminate odour and prevent bacteria growth. It comes in five colors and sizes X-Small through X-Large.[2] | Retro Rounded Hem Shorts Length: 3.5": Choose this if you want short athletic shorts for outdoor or everyday wear: they pair an abrasion-resistant, semi-stretch fabric with Polygiene odor control, a drawcord-adjustable elastic waist, and side slit pockets, all in a short 3.5 inch inseam with a rounded, retro-styled hem and curved side slits. The fit runs relaxed through the hips and thighs at a mid-to-high waist, and the listing describes the fabric as suited to adventures outdoors or in the city (a merchant description rather than a tested result). Sizes run from X-Small to X-Large in Black or Burnt/Brick Orange, though the Black colorway appears only in Large and X-Large in the listing's variant data.[4,5,6] | Perforated Lightweight Short 3" Length: Choose this if you want the merchant's lightest, shortest option for running and high-intensity cardio, with a 3-inch inseam, fully perforated lightweight stretch fabric, and a breathable built-in microfibre jersey panty. The elastic waist has an adjustable inner drawstring, and Polygiene® technology is included to eliminate odour and prevent bacterial growth. Note that these shorts have no pockets, which matters if you need to carry essentials mid-run.[7] |

Short pour la course
Belle couleur, rapport prix/qualité excellent. J’ai la camisole de la même couleur. Pris grandeur moyen car je me trouve plus confortable ainsi même si la grandeur Small aurait été Ok.
Parfait pour le sport.
Très confortable
