What are the Talus Active Shorts?
These are 7-inch shorts with a lightweight, ergonomic design to optimise comfort during challenging activities. The moisture wicking technology and versatile style make them ideal for summer runs in the mountains or a hardcore session in the gym.
What are they made of?
These shorts are constructed using a combination of lightweight Matrix™ single weave and Motiv™ Aero fabric with an odour control treatment.
Matrix™ is a specialised technical softshell explicitly chosen by Rab for its unique performance qualities and UPF/UV protection. The Talus Active Shorts use a Matrix™ single weave structure, providing a more lightweight feel.
Motiv™ Aero is the lightest fabric in the Motiv™ range. This material uses a single jersey knit construction with a fine mesh structure. Enhanced moisture wicking and fast drying technology create a breathable, permeable layer for the skin.
What are their features?
With these shorts, you can wave goodbye to the sticky, heavy feeling of sweat and moisture collecting on the fabric - a common issue with wearing absorbent cotton-based clothing for high-intensity activity. The moisture wicking technology wicks away sweat from the skin quickly. It provides a breathable layer, helping regulate temperature whilst preventing radiant heat loss and improving overall comfort.
The fully elasticated waistband offers an adaptable stretchy fit that can be enhanced and secured using the drawcord adjustment.
A lightweight liner short is built into the design for extra coverage and support, helping the moisture wicking technology perform at its best by keeping the fabric closer to the skin. The liner short has flatlock seams throughout to create a much smoother feel against the skin, minimising rubbing and chafing around the stitching.
The outer of these shorts has an ergonomic design to improve freedom of movement.
For storage, there is an integrated back yolk pocket with a lock down slider - ideal for storing a phone, headphones or gels securely.
The design is finished with subtle reflective branding for those who run after hours and need a little extra visibility in the dark.
How do they fit?
These shorts fit regular, so they will sit a little looser on the body for improved airflow and freedom of movement.
Where do they fit in the layering system?
Wear these shorts next to the skin as a breathable outer layer, working up a sweat in the mountains or local gym.
