What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"These are hands-down the most thoughtfully designed trail shorts I've worn. The pockets are actually biomechanically placed - hydration, gels, poles - it all sits tight and doesn't bounce. They feel like tights but breathe like performance shorts. Add in the included flask, and you're ready for big vert days without a pack."The Raide TrailTech Short is built for endurance athletes who move light and fast across demanding terrain. Engineered with Raide's signature balance-first design, these shorts integrate biomechanically positioned storage that allows you to carry water, nutrition, and gear without the bounce or imbalance of traditional trail shorts. Constructed with ultra-breathable Toray DotAir(TM) fabric, the TrailTech blends stretch, ventilation, and durability for comfort through long climbs and descents. The Italian-made liner adds support with a soft, recycled polyester blend, while silicone grips ensure a secure fit during dynamic movement. Five integrated pockets - including two large stash pockets, two gel sleeves, and a secure zip pocket - keep essentials close and stable, while hidden elastic loops provide external carry for poles, an ice axe, or a light layer. Each pair includes a 360mL Hydrapak flask with a locking cap for quick, balanced hydration on the go. Born from Raide's obsession with functional design, the TrailTech Short is more than apparel - it's a complete carry system for runners who demand performance without compromise.
