Favorite Long Run Short

"Always my fave!! I bought for a marathon so I had pockets for all those gels then they quickly became a trail fave. So comfortable and really breathable - dries quickly after a dip in the lake mid run."

Lesley D. (5/5)

Comfort

"I have been wearing smashems since they came out and these do not disappoint. Light weight, pockets, and comfort. I will say I size up so the briefs aren't tight."

Love Smashems

"This is my 4th pair of Smashems. I still have and wear the others but these are my go to shorts so I had to grab a second pair of black when they were on sale. I love the fit for my muscular thighs and love the pockets for snacks."

Jaime L. (5/5)

A solid choice

"Great storage in the waistband, dries quickly, comfortable wear, looks nice!"

Finally—shorts that work with powerful legs, not a

"Absolutely loving the Rabbit Smash ‘Ems 3” shorts! These have quickly earned a permanent spot in my long run rotation. They dry super fast, don’t ride up, and—most importantly—no chafing, even on high mileage days. For those of us with strong quads from trail running, it’s been frustrating to see the Leggy series shrink so much in the leg that they no longer fit right. (I actually cried when rabbit resized their leggys and changed to a less stretchy material a few years ago… they were perfect. ) Thankfully, the Smash ‘Ems are the perfect replacement. They offer great coverage, stay put, and feel light and free the whole run. Finally—shorts that work with powerful legs, not against them! And the pockets!!! 🎉🎉🎉"

Best Rabbit shorts

"Most of rabbit shorts don't work for me because the leg cut is too voluminous. These shorts are perfect - love the fit of these shorts and the length. Wish they came in more colours."

Smashems

"These were perfect for my marathon! The pockets allowed space for all of my GU and other gear. Very comfortable!"

Abbey V. (5/5)

The perfect shorts for carrying layers

"I live in the mountains where we can get huge temperature swings during runs. Sometimes I need a long sleeve shirt and head band and gloves on top of fuel carried with me. These are the only shorts that allow me to fit everything the I need! The pole loops in the back work well for carrying a shirt looped through them. Great for all those late fall and early spring days when the weather is changing. My only complaint is that they fit a little more snug in the rear/thighs than some other shorts like the Summit Chasers, I wish they were more relaxed, but that is a small complaint, and is surpassed by their functionality!"

Q&A

When will you be restocking?
More Smashems are on their way. Look for them to pop up on the website in mid-September.
Hello! How does the liner sit? Asking specifically if it is thicker in width and also what the stiching is like. I am more petite and the liners seem to hit right where my leg meets causing tons of skin injury.
The liner is our standard liner, it is similar to other styles if you've tried them before. You may need to try them on to see how it hits on you.
