The preferred length of short by most triathletes, with a modest thigh length. Features for 2009: new panels and two new Funnel Pockets™ to hold items in place better while running. This short is 3” longer than the Tuesday Run Short (TRS9) but still well above the knee. It has a full-sided loose fit and a drawstring-elastic waist enabling it to remain in place while swimming. This short is now made of our softer, less abrasive NanoSurf ™ body, and Open Air Mesh™ liner (see Fabric Facts).
