-Design Points
These lightweight shorts are made from a high-performance windshell material.
We paid particular attention to the length in terms of design. If the length is too long, it fits well with casual styling, but it can cause stress when lifting your legs and does not go well with crew-length socks. On the other hand, if the length is too short, it is of course good in terms of performance, but it is difficult to wear in urban areas.
This time, we actually measured many shorts from sports brands, outdoor brands, and casual brands and produced this product with what we thought was the best length and fit. Specifically, the length is 38 cm and the inseam is 12.5 cm (size M). The result is a pair of shorts that satisfies both performance and styling.
It is made using a three-dimensional cut, and in addition, tucks have been added. This gives it a slightly rounded form and a soft shape. The design fits both men and women. There is a zippered
pocket on the back. It is a packable design that utilizes
this zipper.
The waist is made of a combination of elastic and a drawstring for a good fit. It is very gentle on the skin.
-Material
The main material used is Pertex Equilibrium. I believe that Pertex material is the best material among current wind shell materials in terms of its balance. It
is a high-density woven nylon material that is very light and strong despite its lightness. Another feature is its outstanding quick-drying properties.
What is particularly noteworthy as a wind item for running is wind management. First of all, regarding windproofness, it does not completely block the wind, but it blocks the wind well. And a major feature of this material is that it exhibits breathability while having high windproofness. This is why it is a garment that can be worn continuously while moving.
Furthermore, this material belongs to the Equilibrium category within Pertex, which means it's a double weave. This weaving method uses different threads on the front and back, creating an uneven surface against the skin. By reducing the contact area with the skin, a stronger sense of dryness is achieved.
Thicker threads are used on the inside of the material, and ultra-fine threads on the outside, causing moisture to move from the larger filaments to the smaller ones. This so-called capillary action quickly absorbs sweat inside the garment and releases it on the surface. As heat is removed through evaporation during this process, the internal temperature drops, resulting in an effect that suppresses excessive sweating.
In addition, thanks to the weaving technique, this 100% nylon material has a slight stretchiness. This also contributes to ease of movement.
