Carrying capacity built into the shorts themselves
The T8 Women's Sherpa Shorts V2 are women's running shorts with four stretch mesh pockets set around the waist.
A phone, a soft flask, gels, a light shell — all of it stows in the shorts, which suits everything from short runs to trail running to long races when you want your kit held as close to the body as possible.
The body fabric is an ultralight 78gsm. It has four-way stretch and a DWR water-repellent finish, with a short 3in inseam. Built around running with a big range of leg movement, the emphasis is on low weight and freedom to move.
A running belt's job, moved to the waistband
Four hyper-stretch mesh pockets sit around the waist, split front, back and both sides.
Mesh that stretches along with your body holds the load, so you can spread a phone, food and soft flasks across the pockets and use them on the move.
Getting real carrying capacity out of the shorts alone, without adding a separate running belt, is what defines the Sherpa Shorts. They work for days you want to run light with nothing on your back, and as extra storage alongside a pack.
78gsm fabric with four-way stretch
The body uses a very light 78gsm fabric. Four-way stretch handles the big leg movements of climbs and descents.
The inseam is 3in. Along with the short length, deep side cuts keep the pattern out of the way of your legs.
The fabric also carries a DWR finish, so it sheds light rain and splashes.
Details thought through for racing
A removable race bib holder at the front lets you attach a number to the shorts.
Inside the pocket there is a holder to secure a key. The waist drawcord is reversible, so you can run the cord to the inside or the outside as you prefer.
Beyond training, the small points of usability that matter in trail races and long runs have been worked through.
Designed without an inner liner
The Women's Sherpa Shorts do not come with an inner liner.
T8 designs them to be paired with their Women's Commando running underwear. Keeping the shorts and the liner separate rather than combining them lets you match them to your preference and the conditions.
Please have running underwear such as the Women's Commando ready when you wear them.
On choosing a size
T8 uses Asian sizing. If you have larger quads, prefer a roomier fit, or are used to the sizing of Western brands, consider going one size up.
