The challenge
The Session Short is built to fade away. With a shell weight of 124 GSM, it has been stripped down to the essentials to ensure ultra lightness for endurance training, get out of the way and let the hard work do the talking. To put our most featherweight short to the test, we built a brutal workout for Mike to complete in our Session Short.

The Verdict
FOR MAXIMUM MOVEMENT
I NEVER notice them while working out and they allow for maximum movement. I wear them when I am squatting heavy, running ultra marathons or working on my splits, and they handle them all, easily. They feel like a second layer of skin that moves with me.
