these shorts are, without compromise, the best I've ever worn!
as a die-hard naked band user, i was initially skeptical about the integrated band, but after a single use, was totally convinced of the elegance of this design for most runs and even some races.
for example, i raced a 46k where drop bags were allowed midway. instead of cramming a naked band, these shorts allowed me to carry my gels with no bounce, before picking up more at the bag.
comfort and quality-wise, they're just perfect. lightweight and airy, with an excellent liner that does not chafe whatsoever. my only complaint is the shorts pilled a bit after one wash, but it hasn't gotten worse on subsequent washes.
i wish there was a 3" option but i'm willing to sacrifice having some extra length considering how amazing these are in every other respect. another win from the nnormal team!
NNormal Race Shorts
No Normal pair of britches, the NNormal Race Shorts set the bar for what running pantaloons are capable of. With stretch pockets integrated into the wide waistband, you can carry what would generally go in your belt without worrying about bouncing or something important falling out. Posterior elastic loops can carry poles or a rolled-up jacket. An internal liner keeps things secure while helping to evacuate sweat. Like every NNormal product, the Race Short is also made from eco-friendly materials.
- Pole carry and pockets on the waistband to leave your running belt at home.
- Internal liner supports breathability and "other things."
- Eco-friendly construction delays the inevitable end of the planet's ability to support life due to our overconsumption and hubris.
