GOREWEAR Concurve Split Short - Women's Black, L/12-14

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Concurve Split Short is what I reach for when I want maximum leg freedom on a hard workout or race day. The split design opens up naturally through every stride without the fabric pulling inward the way a traditional short can, the integrated brief is supportive without being restrictive, and the reduced seam construction means I finish a long effort without any of the irritation that shows up in lesser shorts by mile ten.""A split short done right gives you the feeling of running in almost nothing, while the integrated brief keeps everything in place. The GOREWEAR Concurve Split Short delivers exactly that combination, pairing a lightweight split outer shell with a supportive inner brief in a construction that keeps breathability and stride freedom at their maximum from the first warmup stride to the finish line. The split design opens naturally through hip extension without pulling or binding, letting each leg move through its full range of motion unimpeded. The outer shell is built from high-stretch recycled polyester that gives with the body rather than resisting it, while the inner brief uses a slightly higher elastane content for a supportive, close-to-body fit that moves independently of the outer shell. Reduced seams throughout minimize friction across both layers over the duration of the run, and the elastic waistband with a back loop keeps the fit dialed without pressure. A reflective logo adds low-light visibility for early morning and evening sessions."
