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.
For women runners, planning your run also means planning the day pre and post the run. And how many pockets suffice for stocking your run essentials. One? Two?
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. It plays the role of underwear perfectly and we strongly recommend not wearing any underwear under our distance running shorts.
My love for multiple pockets in a running gear has been taken care by Athlos quite well :) I can keep my phone and run effortlessly along with other mini pockets to store hydration stuff.
The material was soft and flexible enough to stretch out those crazy rocks during my trail!!!
Just cannot run without them . Since the time I bought them , have done all my running in these shorts . Takes care of all the things to be stored , keys , phone , gels and water
I’ve loved these shorts since they started making them. They are a runner’s dream pair. The pockets are extremely convenient; dry quickly. Very very thoughtful and clever design.
Three very minor quibbles- 1) the zip pokes your bottom if you use these for yoga/lying on the floor 2) sizing is so confusing and this is an Athlos wide issue for me (so check before you buy, the team is ridiculously helpful and kind and warm 3) I wish the outer layer was more flowy
None of this should deter you from buying this pair. Five stars 🌟
The shorts are the lightest material I have worn. Absolutely loved it.
Loved the fit and the material. Pocket is a bit delicate, cant carry my phone in it cos it brings the pants down :) Very comfortable...waiting for other products that are sadly out of stock
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.
