Excerpt from Runners World Magazine, by Jill Layton

You know you’re officially a runner when you feel compelled to get new running gear for every season. And you’rereallyofficial when your family and friends start questioning your sanity as you head out on a run during a swelteringsummer heat wave. If you’re going to keep your streak through the hottest days of the year, make sure to outfit yourself with some lightweight,sweat-wicking appareland plenty of options for keeping yourself hydrated. These are always helpful, but become essential when the weather ensures you sweat as much as possible.

Rabbit’s Tried n’ True shorts live up to their name—they’re the kind of staple you’ll reach for again and again. Designed with a barely-there feel, they strike a perfect balance between comfort and performance. The 5-inch inseam offers solid coverage without getting in the way, making them ideal for everything from track workouts to long runs.

What really sets them apart is the fabric, which is lightweight, moisture-wicking, and impossibly soft, with just the right amount of stretch. A wide waistband stays put without digging in, and the internal liner is breathable and supportive without feeling bulky. Multiple pockets (including a secure zippered one) add functional storage for gels, keys, or cards.
