The Best Running Shorts for Men

Fellow men, we’ve all had an experience with poorly crafted running shorts.

Sometimes they ride, sometimes the rub and chafe; running with a poorly crafted pair of running shorts on a hot summer day makes running all but impossible. But with a dozen different styles and fits to choose from, hunting for the perfect pair of running shorts can be an arduous task that is very much a trial and error experience. With that said, there remain a handful of shorts that have stood above the rest over the years. Here are the best running shorts men can rock this summer.

Tracksmith Twilight Split

With a super comfy inner liner and three different pockets, the Tracksmith Twilight Split is a comfy and reliable pair of running shorts perfect for all occasions. The shorts Bravio fabric is flowy and. despite its prominent upper thigh exposure, feels like it’s covering all of you.

The Bravio fabric itself is a fabulous blend of micro-polyester and elastane that’s soft against your skin and antimicrobial. The Italian-crafted fabric also has small holes littered throughout that helps with airflow and keeping the shorts dry.
