The Blackwood Trail Run 5″ shorts are meticulously engineered to provide the ultimate balance of lightness, functionality, style, and freedom on every outing. With a precise 5″ inseam and a featherweight, quick-dry fabric, they shrug off moisture and bounce so you can stay focused on your stride. A sweat resistant secure zippered rear pocket keeps your phone or music safe, while two additional zippered stash pockets carry keys, gels, cards (or even that emergency gummy bear) with zero bounce. Pair them with our Egg Cradle Boxer Briefs for unbeatable support and chafe-free comfort.

Rear phone pocket: 8.25" across at the top, 7.25" at the bottom, and 4" tall - plenty of space to keep your phone snug and bounce-free. This pocket will accommodate most modern phones without a case and some with a slim case. Your best bet will be to measure your phone/case.

Jeff

Dialed In Trail Run Shorts!

Basically everything I like in run shorts, pockets for nutrition and your phone. Light, weightless and the phone pocket being sweat proof is an incredible touch.

Samuel

These Are The Winners!

I have gone through numerous companies looking for shorts to wear for a 100 mile ultra and training in the hot summer southwest desert. These were just what I was looking for!

Overall, absolutely love these!

Just did a nice 15 miler in these badboys - also, wore the 8" egg cradle briefs underneath - and man, they were ideal. Light as a feather, easy access to the pockets that hold surprisingly more gels than I initially thought they would, and also felt more rugged than the typical workout shorts I'm used to wearing. I'm 6' and about 175lbs - the large were perfect for me. I think the mediums (even though I wear mediums in the egg cradles) would have been too snug around my hips - but that's probably also a personal preference thing. My phone stayed super snug and was easy to get too when needed. Overall, absolutely love these! Just wish they had some more cool colors is all. Will be getting the 5"ers next!

I'm a medium in every Ketl pant/short except these, had to size up (big quad guy), besides that, love them!

Throw away your running belt

The fit, feel, and build of these shorts are very well done. I've been using these shorts for the past few months as my primary long-run shorts and with the pocket layout, I just don't need to bring a running belt anymore to carry my keys, some gus, and my phone. The phone pocket truly does not bounce at all and the low profile cinch inside does a great job to hold these shorts in place without cutting into your waist.

They're incredibly light and the gray color doesn't get that "butt sweat" look that many other light colored shorts get once you get hot in your... undercarriage.

Why did you buy this? : I needed new running shorts and I like worldwide cyclery

Buy These Shorts

I run... a lot. I'm tired of ball straddling liners that make me question my sanity and stench. These don't feel overthought in the way they make me question why everyone else isn't making exactly these shorts. The fabric feels amazing, and they don't ride up.

The phone pocket fits an Iphone 14 however, it is worth noting it's too low and I think an expandable mesh pocket that sits an inch higher would make these perfect. This being said, most longer runs I use a belt anyways.

The gel pockets fit about two Neversecond gels each and would be great for trash storage if you're not looking to just rip a handheld and a couple gels.
These shorts are sick, everyone will be wondering why they don't own them.

It's also worth noting I have a size boys husky waist and the small fits very comfortably but I have had other size smalls that fit a bit more snug.

Buy these shorts, you won't regret it, these are a great product I will be recommending for the foreseeable future unless I manage to sell out.
