Yes. These outdoor shorts feature an integrated polyester stretch mesh liner. The liner wicks away sweat quickly and includes a Silvadur™ antimicrobial finish to help prevent odors on long runs.

Will my phone fit in the rear waistband pocket?

How does the sizing run on these trail shorts?

The Norvan 3" short features a standard numerical fitted cut (sizes 00–16) with an internal drawstring to adjust the waist. Most runners find they fit true to size, but if you prefer a looser fit around the thighs or hips, you may want to size up.

Are these shorts suitable for water or rain exposure?

Yes. The Diem polyester fabric of these hiking shorts receives an FC0-DWR water-repellent coating. This surface finish helps light rain, mud, and water droplets roll right off without soaking into the material.

What is the inseam length on this model?

The garment features a minimal 3-inch (8 cm) inseam (based on a Size 4). Combined with side-split hems, this length provides maximum freedom of movement on steep trail ascents and high steps.
