Feels snug and stable, even when carrying a lot. The shorts fit directly against your body and prevent chafing, which becomes especially important the longer you are on the road.
Remains comfortable during climbing and descending. The stretch material moves smoothly with you, which you notice on technical sections where you take big strides or change pace quickly.
Everything within reach without bouncing. The pockets distribute your items around your body, which you especially notice when carrying multiple gels or a soft flask without them moving around.
Made for long trails, less for simple use. Ideal for hours outdoors, but overkill if you're just doing a short run without gear.
