Men's TrailTech Short 5"
Men's TrailTech Short 5"
Built to go further with nothing on your back. The TrailTech short was born out of a frustration with the current shorts on the market, which are unable to carry hydration/nutrition in a biomechanically efficient and stable way. We took inspiration from running tights and built them into a short, giving you bounce-free storage for every run. Designed to integrate seamlessly with our running belts. Part of the TrailTech System. Comes with a 360mL locking cap flask. Patent pending.

Product Walkthrough
TrailTech Shorts
Engineered Systems Elevating the Freedom of Human Powered Movement
Breathable Dot Air Fabric
The stretch woven DotAir from Toray is the most durable way to add breathability to a woven fabric.
Biomechanically Positioned Storage
Only two places on your lower body stay in place while running: your glutes and your high hips. No posterior storage for more efficient access.
Includes 360mL Locking Cap Flask
The TrailTech Short comes with a 360mL (soda can) sized locking soft flask, custom engineered by HydraPak®.
External Attachment
The TrailTech Shorts feature two hidden elastic loops for poles, an ice axe, or to stash a layer.
Works as a System
The pocket openings of the TrailTech shorts are low on the waistband, keeping them accessible when wearing a running belt.
Favorite shorts on the market, perfect lenght, good pocket placement and non chaffing whatsoever
GREAT product, and the intention behind the product is very clear and considered!
PROS:
-Fabric seam reinforcements at every junction/intersection (like in wetsuits).
-Sturdy but very light weight
-Integrated liner that does not bounce and it comes with a flask.
-Style, colors, etc on brand with the rest of the scene.
-The integrated liner does not stick out past the hem of the shorts... finally!!!
-Works great w/ 2L race belt.
-Shipping was was very fast
-Very high quality product
-Video narrator is pumped and ready to go!
CONS:
-The waistband was/is some work! Its a made with a sturdy material but it lacks some stretch or the ability to recompose itself after it stretches out. (imagine a well worn leather belt that has become curvilinear/ gestural after years of wear)
-The liner was a bit snug (compressive) and have a narrow cuff that rolled up, maybe a wider or less compressive cuff would keep in place. (its important to say that I have the thighs of a size large and the wist of a small, this is not a new situation for my body type, I expect this.)
-Expensive but delivers! (I used the 2l race belt and shorts for a 50k and 25k.)
Lastly, I would recommend this product/brand and will be purchasing more as needed. The product is well conceived and executed and I hope the quality can be maintained.
Had a small probleme with one of the seams and they were kind and answered fast. That's why i like this brand so much. They don't sacrifice the human aspect while innovating. Thank you Raide, those shorts are amazing.
It’s just the better short in the game !
Please do a new drop !!! I need to buy a second one.
Takes a little getting used to when using with the belt, but once everything is in place, the pockets for the 360ml flasks work incredibly well even with a half full soft flask. I will probably end up getting a second pair. Have about 100 trail and scrambling miles in them with no visible wear.
