When morning dawns cool and breezy but warms fast, you’ll appreciate the weather resistance and breathability of the Salomon Men’s Trail Pro Shorts while you trail run. These relaxed-fit shorts won’t hinder your stride, and with a built-in inner brief and wicking fabric, they help you stay dry.
Would zippered pockets be too much to ask for? These shorts are aces in comfort; they don't chafe on 2 hr+ runs, they dry quickly, and they don't make a swishy noise either. What's vexing are the shallow un-zippered front pockets, which I wouldn't trust with my keys. Sure, there is a small zippered pocket on the side, but while it's good for a gel, a key or an mp3 player will bounce annoyingly in them. There is no small key pocket in the waistband (unlike every other pair of running shorts ever made.) Overall, great shorts if you have other options for carrying essentials.
