Flowy and Light

The short is superlight makes really easy ti wear even when sweating. But don't forget to wear an undergarment because it is so flowy your privates might peek.

Light, breezy and swift
Black
Light weight shorts designed for serious runners that don't need to listen to music when they run as there are no pockets to store superflous junk.
The split on the side of the short facilitates high knee lift for maximum speed and the liner fits like a pair of Speedos as opposed to a wetsuit.
I own three pairs: red, blue and black
I run six days a week, sometimes multiple sessions a day
