What are the Slipstream 5" Shorts?
They're super lightweight five-inch running shorts designed for trail running, mountain running and general training in milder conditions. Their versatile construction is perfect for indoor and outdoor activity, meaning you could even wear these to work out in your local gym.
What are they made from?
These shorts are primarily made with Aeroflyte QD, which is constructed using stretch polyester, which is lightweight, durable and flexible. The waistband is created from a fabric called Carvico, which is made from regenerated nylon ECONYL® yarns.
ECONYL® make their yarns from nylon waste, including fishing nets, old carpets and nylon industrial waste, which would otherwise be destined for landfills. The material boasts the same properties as brand-new nylon, being durable, smooth on the skin and unrestrictive with a reduced environmental impact.
The inner mesh brief inner is made from Apex-Dry and has been treated with a Polygiene permanent odour control. The mesh helps keep the body cool, whilst the Polygiene treatment helps with odour management from sweat build-up. The close fit provides comfort and helps avoid chafing, whilst also preventing the shorts from rising up as you move.
What are their features?
These lightweight shorts are perfect for runners who enjoy the freedom and airflow of shorter shorts. A five-inch inseam gives enough coverage for various activities in warmer climates.
The waistband is stretchy to enhance comfort and freedom of movement around the midsection for intense activities. To optimise the fit, it has an internal drawcord that offers total adjustment and neatly tucks away inside, so you don't have cord flapping around as you run.
There's a rear pocket fastened with a YKK® zip, ideal for storing keys, cash or a mobile phone, whilst additional back pockets give you extra space for energy gels.
The shorts are constructed with Montane’s run fit which means they sit closer to the skin to move with you. Reflective detailing finishes the design, providing extra visibility in low light and poor conditions.
