"Men's Brooks® Journey 5"" Short: The Brooks Journey 5"" Short is a lightweight men's running short built for everyday training runs when you want to move freely and carry everything you need without thinking about it. The 5-inch inseam hits at a comfortable length, and the flat waistband with an internal drawcord keeps things secure without digging in - so you can focus on the run rather than adjusting your gear.The shell is made from GO2™ 4-way stretch fabric (89% recycled polyester/11% spandex) that moves with you and breathes well during harder efforts. The brief liner uses the same GO2™ fabric in a slightly different blend (91% recycled polyester/9% spandex) and has been updated for a better fit. Storage is genuinely useful here: a back zip pocket fits most phones, four hip pockets expand to hold nutrition or other small items, and a liner key pocket keeps your key from bouncing around. The sectioned stash pockets are designed to hold smaller items more securely than a single open pocket would. The shorts are made with 88% recycled materials - equivalent to 10 plastic water bottles - and use bluesign®-certified materials throughout.Why Our Fit Experts Love It""I really noticed how the waistband sits lower and feels thinner than what I'm used to - it just disappears once you're moving. The hip pockets actually hold a gel without flopping around, which is a small thing that makes a real difference on longer runs."" - Dave, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, San Diego, CAWho It's Best ForThe Journey 5"" Short is a strong choice for male runners who want a reliable everyday training short with real storage options and a liner that actually fits well.
