Path Projects - Superb Running Shorts Pockets
Vložit

- Path Projects makes shorts with a pocket big enough to hold my iPhone 11 Pro. They shorts can also hold my keys and gels in a way that those things don't bounce around. And, the shorts look good enough to wear around as just shorts. Instantly, I'm in love.
Path Projects uses an outer layer/base layer system that I've previously considered unnecessarily complicated. But as I've found myself looking for more shorts without a built in liner, the time was perfect for me to try Path Projects. Usually, I wear long tights (which don't usually have pockets) with a pair of unlined shorts on top. Path Projects shorts work great in this type of setup. They also can be paired with their base layers, which are cool and comfortable.

Lol. Thanks CZcams for recommending a video with a 4 year younger Kofuzi. I can see the growth of his videos. Keep up the great work. I'll look at some other old videos like the one about running with your phone. ❤
Heck ya man love all of path projects stuff. Extremely comfortable and functional. Can’t get enough of it.
Billy Yang's suggestion of rinsing the base liner in the sink and air drying is working well for me--and helping to justify the relatively high price point.
Thanks for the review, Mike. I was leaning towards and eventually decided to get the Graves 7 in. (mainly for the extra pocket). Glad to hear that they're the go-to choice for both you and Floris. Just ordered them tonight - can't wait to get them in soon.
I also think the liner-less shorts play to runners doing ultra races where the liners in the shorts may cause chaffing. The base liner helps a ton!
It's amazing how few running shorts are good for holding stuff for outdoor runs. Thanks for reviewing these!
Check out the Patagonia strider pro, they have 5 & 7 inch lengths, best pockets on any running short
I feel attacked and old with that robin hood men in tights reference.
The way you dusted JM...gotta get these! This winter has been full of these days - cold but not really so. Dressing is tricky so as not to sweat.
I've always thought wearing shorts over tights didn't make any sense. But your video blew my mind! Crazy... such a simple thing but sometimes you need another perspective. I've only been run commuting for few months but will for sure look into getting a pair of shorts to use those days when I need to drop off my kid to daycare or pick him up. I don't yet do doubles for the run commute so I've only ran home or ran to work depending on the morning or afternoon schedule. The shorts you reviewed here look very interesting. Thanks!
Great review. I am a Path Projects fan. Also, learned of the brand through Billy Yang’s video. I have the Syke’s and Graves shorts. Both are great but Graves is my go to shorts because of pockets. I also have the hoodie which is a favorite as well. Your descriptions are spot on. Looking forward to purchase their shirts next.
woah, hold up, was that a fresh foam tempo? excited for that video!
Omg... the hole for the watch blew my damn mind. Great idea
Happy to see you finally got your hands on some PP! 🤪In all seriousness though, I think you and Gingerrunner first peaked my curiosity w/ Janji, but after Billy and Floris were talking about Path, I made the switch and may give the edge towards them. Overall, I think it’s awesome to have both companies in my rotation as it feels really great to support the smaller guys who do good for the running community.
Lots of great options. It’s a great time to be a runner.
I agree, first learned of the Path thru Billy Yang and Ginger, have also enjoyed Janji, both great products. Support these companies.
Not tried the shorts yet but the hoody is almost too good to run in. It’s so comfy, so practical and also the extra neck coverage when the hood is up, is also nice. Traveling anywhere, especially on long haul flights, this hoody is amazing!!! Only down side is this hoody is so nice, I wear it to work more than I do on runs. But hey-ho.
Just pick a pair of there shorts plus the liner....wow amazing most comfortable shorts i have ever run in.
The zipper direction is genius. Always a struggle and I have never even thought of it as a solution haha!
PATH Projects shorts are great. Material is high quality and the build is perfect for running. If I could afford more of their clothes I would buy more and replace some stuff from more big name brand running companies. Oh and the separate liners are phenomenal. I do wish they had actual pants, not just long liners. And they hopefully will have women's clothes at some point.
Been eyeing these. Thanks for the review. Also, didn’t notice before, but was that your phone that dropped racing Jami? 😯
Great detailed review Kofuzi, glad you are enjoying our gear!
PATH projects Great products and solid and in-depth review, Mike! 👊🏼 FYI, I’m writing this question before doing any research, but are PP shorts primarily for colder climates? How do you think they’d be when running in heat? As a Florida runner, my running shorts are soaked through on every run for 10 months of the year (and just wet for the other two months). I find anything longer than short shorts get very heavy when wet (probably not a surprise; more material=more weight). I like the idea of the base layer but if they get soaked I worry they would become a chafing issue. Any thoughts or insight is appreciated! 👍🏼
@@its_Matt_B_ our shorts work well for running in the heat as well. We’ve had lots of customer feedback from similar climates like Florida, Hawaii, Texas and the Sykes shorts with Torch or Tahoe base liners would suit just fine. The fabrics have amazing moisture wicking and quick dry properties. Several athletes have raced Badwater 135 miles in 120 Fahrenheit / 48 Celsius and left positive reviews afterwards with no chafing issues. Other athletes have ran 200 mile and 240+ mile races and experienced no chafing issues either. Hope that helps Matt 👍🏼
PATH projects Thank you for your time and that detailed reply! It was a huge help! 👊🏼
@@its_Matt_B_ 👊🏼
Matt Bertrand I have Da Graves and Sykes from PP. They are awesome! I love Da Graves due to pockets. If your planning to buy a pair you won’t go wrong with this.
Do the nike infinity react soon thanks. Love the videos keep up the good work.
I may have to look at those the next time I need shorts. I bought 5.11 shorts because they were clearing them out for around $8. No zippers, but the pockets are deep so they hold my phone without any issue.
It’s amazing how people can run having things in the front pockets. I personally only can store small stuff in the back middle pocket while running.
The faster I’m going, the less I can have in front pockets
The shorts look good
Great review! I need to figure out how to run my kids to school. Do you walk with them to drop off and then do a longer loop home? Just need to find the time to sneak in those miles. 🤔
great review! no logos is a plus. color palette is a plus. the utility of the shorts look great.
what running backpack is that & does it come in black?
Love the PP shorts.
really quite good
Man, I wish I knew this a couple of weeks ago! I scoured eBay & Poshmark buying up all the Lululemon Switch Up 7” linerless shorts (they are discontinued). They’re very similar in features to the Path Projects shorts you showed here. I’ll keep these in mind for the future - It seems we’re in the minority in looking for linerless running shorts with zippered pockets!
I think there’s a small but solid minority of people for whom this type of shorts are just absolutely perfect.
How is the anti odor working with these shorts? I am thinking about getting a few pair of the graves. Also love the hole in the sleeve for watches in the hoody!
Thoughts on sizing?
Looks like I’d be on the fence between small and medium.
There's also tights with normal pants cut so you don't get the bulge problem like with the underwear style tights. The non-bulging tights are my go to cold weather gear.
How are these shorts with regards to wicking and drying quickly?
This question might be a bit late - have you tried their running hats and how do like them? I'm thinking whether to get one of them or the Ciele's. Thanks man!
I'm definitely liking the look, and along with your description of feel and functionality my curiosity is extremely heightened. However , my penny pinching "hobby" budget will not currently allow a new wardrobe. My question is this, between the Janji and the Path Project apparel you've tested/reviewed, which brand would you most recommend and support based on brand business model, fit and functionality, and price point?
Right now, I’m loving path projects shorts and Janji tops.
@@kofuzi Thanks
These shorts look great.. if only they made the liner inside of the shorts I could use for racing mainly for those pockets! I think having a separate liner and shorts on top would make things too hot down there... Only short I've found with a generous amount of pockets and liner is the brooks sherpa. Have you found anything like that?
Hi Zanrok, the shorts are developed on purpose to work well in training and racing. Many athletes have raced in these, including fast marathons + even long ultras such as Badwater 135 and 200+ mile races, without chafing or over heating issues.
This brand seems to have a great solution. Though usn't the most comfortable way - and cheaper - to solely wear the shorts?
Love path projects. I have IPhone 11 with otter box case and it’s a no go in the back pocket. Do you find it fits in both shorts graves and skyes? Thanks
For me and my slim case, they fit in both. I couldn’t discern a difference in the pocket
kofuzi thanks!
Cody Jett I have XS Max and it’s fits with ease on the back pocket of Graves. I also love the pocket near the bottom of the right thigh. It’s where I store my IDs.
blueaxe27 thanks. Maybe it’s just my bulky case. I have coupe pairs of their shorts and no such luck 🤷🏻
The clothing reminds me of Janji, which has been my recent go-to clothing. I know you reviewed the Janji some months ago, how would you compare the two brands as far as fit and comfort??
I like Janji up too and Path in the bottom.
When are you hopping on the Atreyu train? The subscription is interesting the people need to know your thoughts. 😀
Does it come in black yet?
kofuzi not yet. There’s a standard issue colorway that is just like silver and white and the only black colors in it are the text. That is as “not flashy” as it gets.
Do these shorts have any sort of internal brief? I know they do not have a base layer, but wondering about brief vs. briefless.
they do not have any liner. you can run with run underwear or their base layer. i also wear them frequently over full length tights
I've been eyeing some Path gear for a while now. Could I ask if there's only a 'watch hole' on the left hand sleeve? I'm left handed and wear my watch on my right hand. I've tried wearing it on my left but it just feels alien to me. If the hole left hand only then I may just go for some of their shorts. Thanks!
Only on the left hand sleeve. PATH Projects seems very interested and receptive to feedback, so you might want to let them know about this need.
@@timothykousky6720 Good to know, thank you!
@@thatguygreg thanks for letting us know! At this point we only made the watch slot on the left wrist. The minimal order quantities for these shirts are pretty high and with only about 10% of people being left handed, we decided to start out with left watch holes only. Appreciate your feedback, we'll absolutely keep this in mind as we continue to grow.
Really appreciate the response - makes sense. I’ll be ordering some gear soon, closer to the summer.
What if I am cheap, can I use them without underwear?
Where's the 3" short option??? 😃 #shortshorts
The 3" shorts are in production and will launch June 1st at the latest 👍
@@pathprojects NICE!
6:26 ^_^ Does Path Projects make women's sizes as well?
Some of our shirts are available in men's XS, which is a women's size medium. At this point we don't have any women specific gear or sizes yet.
@@pathprojects Thanks! Looking forward to seeing women's items in the future!
No promo code? 🙂
I generally avoid promo codes for reviews. Sends a mixed message in terms of review bias.
I love the vids but I can’t imaging running w shit in my hands...why is the waistband string on those shorts so long?
fortunately, it is not a requirement to run with things in your hands.
