This 2-in-1 design delivers the perfect blend of performance, storage, and security. They are engineered for long days, rugged terrain, and zero distractions. At the core, our unique SUBA (Storage Under Belly Area) front pocket offers quick access to essential gear without bulk or bounce. But the real game changer? Dual FlaskFit rear pockets — now reengineered for easier in-and-out access. Designed with tapered openings and integrated into the liner for a snug, bounce-free fit, these pockets securely hold 500ml soft flasks (we recommend the SoftFlask Speed by HydraPak). A bungee cord locks them into place for added stability.

Reviews

Best running shorts ever

"I used these for my utmb run this last weekend. It replaced the compression underwear I normally run with and a running belt I had plenty of space, and was really impressed with how I didn't have to feel like I had to change them, because nothing else came close to replacing them"

— Shaun C. (5/5)

Awesome storage!

"These shorts are awesome. I wear them over 13 miles. I slide 2 500ml Salomon bottles in the pockets. Blowing air back into bottles after the sip makes the bottle really easy to slide back in the pockets. The huge drawstring is crucial to keep them up. The first run I felt like my shirt was tied around my waist but it was the storage compartments making the feeling. Perfect for ditching the vest and running far!"

— Benjamin B. (5/5)

Good but beware thigh scrunch!

"Liner is amazing, outer short scrunches up in the crotch. I've got thighs though."

— Trevor H. (3/5)

Great for Trail Runs and Hikes

"My favorite feature on these shorts are the flask pockets. Im able to keep my water on my back hips and they don't interfere with running. Since getting these shorts they are the only pair I wear on trail runs or hikes."

— Ricardo H. (5/5)

Took it out for a

"Took it out for a 26km run was surprised by how secure the pockets were and the lack of bounce with 2 500ml bottles. Took a while to get used to putting the bottles back in but appreciated being able to run without a pack. Ruining the Sydney marathon in August and these will be my go to shorts. The big lace to tighten up the shorts definitely makes a difference in terms of security and comfort."

— Reuben L. (5/5)

Incredible Product

"Such a great product. Almost like youre wearing nothing but yet you have so many pockets and it fits so well. Wish it came in more colours!"

— Matt (5/5)

Venture Shorts

"Size, just right, I am a 30. 5 waist and these fit snug as they should (Size Small), fabric in light, great ventilation, they stay put, I have went on several runs so far, the extra pockets are great (SUBA pocket system), I utilize the hydration pockets with the recommended 500ml soft flasks, (SoftFlask Speed by HydraPak), pocket for my car key, chap stick, and there is plenty of room for more. So far I love these shorts for my daily runs in New England"

— Juan T. (5/5)

Excellent

"These are high quality shorts. No chaffing. But they are a little heavier than I expected. That’s ok worth it!"

— James K. (5/5)

Wanted to Love them

"These shorts weren’t great for the first 25 or 30 miles. Then I started noticing pain on the back of my thighs. As the miles went on, the pain got worse. Long story short it was the water bottles digging into the back of my thighs at the end of the pocket. I learned that I had to drink them down about 40% before putting them back in so they didn’t dig into my thighs. At the end of my 50 miler, I had a 2 inch so on my right than left leg. Not sure if it was just me, just the shorts that I got, but won’t be wearing these and any more races."

— Charlie B. (3/5)

Great upgrade from stashems

"Bought these for my husband after his shashems ripped (after a year of heavy use). The liner is higher quality fabric, with a more compressive feel. He loves the storage capacity - carried up to 750 mL and able to go on 2+ hour runs without a vest."

— Rylee (5/5)
