A Lightweight Running Short Built for Long Miles
The Roark Alta 5in Running Short is designed for runners who want a lightweight, minimal short that keeps up with top level run performance. Whether it is a daily workout or a long run, the short is built to move without getting in the way.
What It's Made Of
- Lightweight 4-way stretch nylon with a water-resistant finish
- Integrated breathable, anti-microbial brief liner
- Water-resistant zippered back pocket for a phone or other stowables
- Two external gel pockets on the hips
- 5 inch inseam with an extended-slit notched hem
- Materials: 85% nylon, 15% spandex
The 4-way stretch nylon fabric is built to move through a full running stride, while the water-resistant finish helps it shrug off sweat and light rain during a workout.
Who Should Wear It
This short is made for anyone training for a long run or handling a daily workout who wants practical storage built in rather than carrying a separate belt or pack. The water-resistant zippered back pocket keeps a phone secure, and the two external gel pockets on the hips are built for runners who fuel during longer efforts.
Wearing and Caring for It
The integrated anti-microbial brief liner is designed to be worn without additional underwear, keeping things simple for training days. Because the fabric is a 4-way stretch nylon and spandex blend with a water-resistant finish, a gentle machine wash and air dry will help preserve both the stretch and the water resistance over time.
Roark's Adventure-Driven Design
Roark builds its collection, spanning t-shirts, outerwear, bottoms, and accessories, around a timeless sense of adventure and independence, following the travels of an idealized figure the brand calls Roark. That same performance-minded, go-anywhere approach shows up in the practical pocket layout and stretch fabric of this running short.
