What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "These shorts seriously deliver on the trail. They’re lightweight, super breathable, and don’t ride up or chafe thanks to the FlashDry liner. I stash gels and my key in the back pockets without even noticing the weight—perfect for long runs where I don’t want to carry a pack." We hit the trail in the Summit Pacesetter Print Short when the mission calls for speed, comfort, and versatility. The North Face designed these shorts as part of its elite Summit Series, dialing in details for endurance-minded runners. The recycled stretch-woven fabric keeps things light and unrestrictive, while the FlashDry-XD tech wicks moisture fast and stands up to rugged terrain. A built-in FlashDry brief liner keeps us dry and supported, and we never feel bogged down thanks to the featherlight construction. The split hem boosts mobility on steep climbs, while multiple stash options—including power-mesh drop-in pockets and a center zip pocket—keep essentials close. From alpine ridgelines to tempo runs, these shorts are built for pushing limits.
