Please note:
- We use Asian sizing. If you have large quads, are looking for a more comfortable fit, or are used to western sizing, consider going up a size. Size guide here.
- Sherpas are designed with no inner liner so pair with our T8 Commandos men's running underwear for a super comfy, guaranteed chafe-free experience. Bundle and use discount code 10FOR2 for 10% off - and both come with our 30-day satisfaction guarantee!
- Men looking for a shorter racing short can consider the ladies version. It works surprisingly well and looks sharp too.
- Pull your Sherpas over your belly button - grandpa style! - then tie the drawstring tight and pull it down over your hips for minimum bounce. Inside and outside slits allow it to be tied inside or outside the waistband.

United StatesNice Shorts
Light weight, no liner at all though. Also like they said on the smaller size of the size chart. Recommend one size up.

United KingdomGame Changer - Conquering the 5 Trails of Hong Kong with T8 Men's Sherpa Shorts and T8 Commandos
Using the T8 Men's Sherpa Shorts during my 400km, 19,500m elevation gain run across Hong Kong's 5 Trails was a game-changer. These lightweight shorts, designed specifically for runners, proved to be the perfect companion for such an intense challenge. With integrated pockets that function like a belt, I was able to carry all the essentials—flasks, food, phone, and more—without needing any additional gear. The Sherpa shorts' seamless design, combined with T8 Commandos, eliminated any risk of chafing, even after 5 consecutive days of relentless running. Despite the gruelling heat, the shorts remained comfortable and efficient, showcasing their ability to perform under extreme conditions. Since then, they've become my go-to gear for all my running adventures, whether I'm tackling Hong Kong's rugged trails or running through European landscapes. Simply put, these are the best shorts I've ever worn and I love them!
Trinidad & TobagoGreat storage, dries fast for hot and humid climates
I bought the recommended size after taking measurements, and although it did feel overly snug when initially trying them on, they did relax a bit and now fit really well. Snug enough to keep phone, nutrition and keys without any bounce. Materials used are top notch and I've not experienced any hot spots / pinching at the waist or chafing. They do stick to the skin when soaked but dries really quickly. I use these in my trail and road runs when I need to carry my phone. The reflective elements / logos have begun to unstick after the first wash and will likely all peel off in subsequent washes. My only recommendation would be to somehow improve the adhesion of these reflective elements as it does significantly improve night running visibility.
