La Sportiva Auster Short

Despite the short length and minimal materials, the La Sportiva Auster Short is a feature-full piece that won't leave you wanting for more. The 3.5-inch inseam allows maximal airflow and minimal weight while keeping you modest by most modern norms. The Auster has three separate pockets: one zip on the back for cards and keys and two elastic pockets on either side for gels and goodies. An inner brief liner keeps everything in place without trapping heat against your already-warmest parts. Because the short is made from recycled and Bluesign-approved fabrics, you can feel better about your environmental impact every time you put them on. Finally, the Auster Short is held in place with the classic combo of an elastic waistband combined with a drawstring cord, because nobody wants an unscheduled moonrise on the trail.

• The inner brief liner is supportive yet well-ventilated.
• 3.5-inch inseam because the shorter the short, the shorter the time.
• Reflective details make it easy for others to see how fast you are (and improve safety or whatever).
• One rear zip pocket and two elastic pockets offer storage for your knick-knacks.
• Elastic waistband with drawstring is secure and comfortable.
