Patagonia Strider Pro 5in Short - Men's Moon Tripper: Weathered Stone, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I have put these through everything from short morning loops to full mountain ultras and the storage alone sets them apart. Four stretch pockets hold gels and a key without any bounce, and the liner stays comfortable and supportive well into the back half of a long effort.""Trail running gear lives or dies by how little you think about it mid-run, and the Patagonia Strider Pro 5in Short is built to disappear. Lightweight recycled polyester moves with every stride and dries fast when sweat and effort pile up over long miles, while a DWR coating handles the brush-through-wet-vegetation moments without weighing the short down. Side splits open up full range of motion on steep climbs and technical descents, and the 5-inch inseam hits the right balance between coverage and freedom. The storage system is what separates the Strider Pro from the field. Four stretch envelope hip pockets and one zippered rear pocket keep gels, keys, a card, and a packable layer all within reach and bounce-free through the roughest terrain. A built-in brief liner wicks moisture and provides support that holds up across hours of sustained effort, and the wide low-profile waistband with internal drawcord stays put whether the pace is easy or all-out. For runners who take their miles seriously, this is the short that handles everything from local loops to backcountry objectives without asking for any attention in return."
