Humidity from hell, and each new lap hotter than the last. Welcome to long distance running in the subcontinent. We wanted a running short that's light, and swift drying over hours while having the right pocket design for stocking needs of distance running. Cue the Athlos Distance Running Shorts, our most technical shorts yet.

PERFECT

Runners have certain stocking needs for race days and long endurance runs. Gels, cash, keys, and the occasional cellphone. Relax, we have it covered. 2 unique side- pockets to store gels. One zippered back pocket for keys and the 4th one on the liner - built to support your smartphones holding them tight against your body. And all of this comes minus any bounce or bulk.
HERE’S A ONE LINER
What good is a running short without a good liner? The Distance shorts comes paired with a liner that provides support at right places while getting out of your way. It's next to nothing hand-feel and firm support makes you forget you are wearing anything, in a good way.

Pinto is an ultra-runner for whom long distance running is more of a passion than just a hobby. Pinto has a chest size of 40 inches and is wearing our Distance shorts in size M.
I have used this shorts along with Athlos distance tee for the Tata Ultra 50k. I was able to carry all my gels in the pockets along with my phone. It was so light and I didn't feel any irritation with the material.
A must have in each and every runners wardrobe
I’ve used so many brands and I’ve always wanted to have a pair of shorts from an Indian company that has the same quality standards and I am convinced that Athlos is that brand. I am really enjoying the Distance Shorts, they are soft and very comfortable during my runs. I have used them for a few of my effort sessions.
My feedback would be the colour that I chose looked very sober online but in real life the turquoise is too bright and I am not a fan of it. Also, the back zip pocket is a bit low and if you put your keys in it, then it keeps bouncing and hitting the butt. It could have been placed slightly to the upper part. These are definitely not deal breakers and I will definitely get another pair once I run out of some of the other shorts I have.
Hi Shadaab, Thanks for posting this review. We're glad you're enjoying running in our distance running shorts. Feedback taken on the pockets.
Feedback taken on the colours. We have noticed that certain colours tend to look brighter outdoors in the sunlight than how they render on screen.
Thanks,

“I’ve tried numerous running shorts and T-shirts, but Athols takes the cake! Their T-shirt and running shorts combo is unparalleled. The shorts’ comfortable pocket arrangement is genius, keeping my essentials secure during long distance runs. The fabric is breathable, moisture-wicking, and provides a full range of motion with dedicated thoughtful mobile phone pocket
I’ve accumulated several Athols shorts in various colors - they’re that good! The quality, comfort, and performance are consistently top-notch and I always use for all my training run to all races ,
If you’re a serious runner, look no further. Athols has raised the bar. Highly recommended!”
The Athlos Distance Shorts have been a winner since the get-go. Have used these on city tracks and taken them up to the Himalayas, and these have felt great! I especially like the soft fabric, aiding in a comfortable run throughout, anywhere from an hour to ten hours!
We want to minimise our environmental impact and have been a work in progress. We always skipped plastic, and since June 2020, we started shipping our orders minus extra tags, invoices, and content that often ends up in trash.
