A guide to running shorts

Plus, a thorny experience bushwhacking through Bears Ears.

Shorts handle a lot of important legwork when it comes to the highs and lows of a big day on the trails. We build ours to wick sweat, dry fast and stay out of your way—but most importantly we build them to last, mile after overgrown, scrambly mile.

“We were on a multiday traverse through the major canyons of Bears Ears—‘we’ meaning Luke Nelson, Jared Campbell and Matt Irving. Our group started near the Colorado River, with a plan to spend three or four days running to the San Juan River linking Dark, Woodenshoe, Natural Bridges, Pine-Step, Grand Gulch and Slickhorn canyons.

A trail runner’s legs with many scrapes and cuts from bushwhacking.

On paper the route
seemed reasonable. The reality was grittier: sandstorms, thorny bushwhacks, dried-up water holes. I snapped this photo of Matt’s legs a few days into the trip: It honestly sums up the landscape better than I ever could with words.”
