Our Verdict
The Trailfarer Shorts are made from a quick-drying blend of recycled polyester and spandex, so they have a good amount of stretch for running shorts; this and the 8-inch inseam meant I was very comfortable wearing this for prolonged periods of time and suffered no chaffing. Support is added with an internal mesh that fits like a boxer.
They have a minimalistic elasticated waistband with a drawcord to tailor the fit to your body shape. They have one pocket, a discreet one on the rear of the shorts, and two hand pockets.
