What are the Dragon 5” Shorts?The Dragon 5” Shorts are primarily designed as a lightweight trail and mountain running short, equally as well suited to endurance events as they are to shorter distances and gym use.
What are they made from?The shorts are effectively split into two main components, the close-fitting mesh brief inner and the lightweight, looser fit overshort.
The mesh brief inner is made from Apex-Dry and has been treated with Polygiene permanent odour control. The mesh helps keep the body cool, whilst the Polygiene treatment helps with odour management from sweat build-up. The stretch waistband is made from CARVICO with Econyl, a 100% recycled nylon yarn. The close fit provides comfort and helps avoid chafe, as well as helping to prevent the short from rising.
The overshort is made from Aeroflyte QD, a lightweight stretch fabric that offers protection from wind and sun, along with fast-drying properties.
What are the features?The Dragon 5” Shorts feature a 5” inseam (in size medium), with the outer
short cut to allow for greater freedom of movement. The waistband offers both stretch and an internal drawcord for optimal adjustment. A YKK zipped rear pocket takes care of storage for valuables, whilst a pair of small pockets designed for gel shots add extra storage for longer runs. The shorts also feature reflective VIA details to help with visibility in adverse conditions.
