SingaporeThe perfect shorts
I always find myself reaching for these shorts on race days and long runs. They shed sweat well and hold my nutrition well, and are quite light weight for all the functionality they provide. Personally, I still like to use a race vest for much of my gear, but like to distribute some of the weight into these shorts. I find the shorts work well for holding 250mL soft flasks, phone, gels, etc. But with 500mL soft flasks, I find they will become too bouncy if you run fast. For holding 500mL while running fast, imo Ultra Sherpa works better (but is heavier). One thing I hope T8 would change about these shorts is to stop using the plastic "iron on" feeling logos and patterns, since they tend to peel off and litter the trails, which makes me feel bad. Wish the logos could be printed directly onto the fabric rather than pasted on. A small logo pasted on is fine (like with the HK Islands print shorts), but the ones with many tiny pasted items (like the green color shorts) are a bit too much.
