I had never heard of Path Products. They look awesome. Especially the shorts with all those pockets!
It's surprising how such a simple thing works so well! I highly recommend you give them a go the next time you're looking for shorts!
Check out caps too, my FAVE cap.
Haha. Very accurately described the progression of running shorts shortness, over time
😂 It always struck me as a funny progression!
I have a strange obsession with running clothes - shorts especially. It just seems to be so hard to find all the features I need in an affordable package! Thanks for posting this one!
Cheers for watching! I've been pretty happy with these shorts, although "affordable" is different for everyone. It seems to me these shorts are on the expensive side, but the value comes in that they actually work VERY well!
The Path Projects are the best I’ve ever had in all my decades of running. I’ve had mine for a couple years now and so they’ve been through several hundred washes and they still look like new! They hold up extremely well. I love the extra pockets and just like you I was able to get rid of the belt. Oh and I’ve never had any chafing. Glad you are enjoying them Matt.
Thanks for being the impetus to me getting them, Mark!
Thanks Matt, for the review. I’m going to give these shorts a try. I’ve not heard of these before , but they look very nice.
Good to hear! I think I was still wearing other shorts in addition to PATH Projects when I made this video, but PP shorts are all I wear now! LMK what you think of them! 👊🏼
23, toasty? You need to check a true Indian summer 😊And, I learned a new term today - truckers cap.
Haha! You’re right about 23c not being too bad! I’ve just come through a pretty brutal summer where I would have done anything for 23c! 😂
Floris Gierman runs this Co and his MAF vlog is the best !
Yeah, I love his channel and podcast! 👊🏼
Also your clothing and gear reviews are welcome, they don't feel strange dude
Thanks, mate! 👍🏽
Dude nice long run!
Cheers, Kyle! I haven’t run this far since my 50 miler back in March! It felt good to get that long-run-tired-feeling back!
I will definitely check them out....I ALWAYS end up with some type of chafing in my inner thighs even when using body glide or Squirrel nut butter. It might be time to invest in really good shorts.
These are definitely worth a go! No chafing at all on the +/- 10 runs I’ve worn them for so far!
@@its_Matt_B_ just ordered. I left your name in the note to seller. 👍🏽
@@davidsaxe7077 Nice! cheers, David! FYI, I ordered the base liner one size down from the short size because I wanted them to be a little tighter. It seems to have worked.
@@its_Matt_B_ just ran in them with no GLIDE!!! Wow amazing. I will downsize the liner on my next order like you suggested. Best shorts I’ve ever have run in, and I have run it a lost of different brands.
@@davidsaxe7077 I’m so happy to hear it! I ran in my old shorts for the last two days and started getting chafing. This morning I wore my PPs and nothing! I’m getting to the point where I won’t be able to wear anything else!
They are still wearing shell suits here in Finland Matt :D..... Great looking shorts! Salomon also do something similar with the two layer thing. Never tried, maybe I should some time!
I'm surprised to hear about the shell suit useage...but perhaps I shouldn't; they're very comfortable (albeit a bit noisy with the swish-swish) 🤣. I think you should give the two layer thing a go; I'm still surprised how it cuts down on chafing. 💥
@@its_Matt_B_ Its actually one of the reasons I love running in just short tights. The Swedish say that Finland is always 10 years behind them in Fashion, sometimes it's quite true. Most of the shell suit users are the ones who bough them originally in the 80's or whenever :D
I’m still in the knee-length shirts phase haha. These look great though, and I’m definitely intrigued by having a few nice zip pockets so I don’t need to wear a belt.
The pockets are super nice to have, especially because I can take a phone and not have it bounce around!
@@its_Matt_B_ yeah that’s the biggest thing I struggle with. I like having my phone with me because I’m often on trails in a low pop area, and also because it’s a source of music. So I pretty much need to run with my belt whenever I head out just to carry my phone.
@@JonsConsciousLife and you never know when a camera will come in handy! 🎥🏃🏻♂️
@@its_Matt_B_ this is true, though I’m hoping to pick up a GoPro at some point, if I can find a 7 or 8 within my budget.
I just bought the nathan hydration vest because of you lol...... now I may buy these shorts. I am very interested in nathan and their new shorts with boxer compression liner they look nice. Maybe you will get a chance to try them out.... I hate chafing.... so I have used compression shorts....
Without a doubt, there isn’t much worse than chafing when you’re on a run! The Nathan shorts/boxer combo are very similar to the Path Projects idea, and I haven’t had any chafing since I switched away from a sewn-in liner.
I’m so glad you got the Nathan best; I think you’re really going to love it!
Brrrr...freeze watch out here for Tuesday morning (from 90s a few days ago). Looking for my tights (they are likely right were I put them in the spring if I can remember). Tights = really long shorts!
The first run in tights every year has to be fun, right?! I don’t get to run in tights too often, but it’s always a novelty when I do!
I like the concept, inspired by Salomon's pioneering S/Lab modular system, that you can wear anything you want. For people whot hate liners, you can finally just wear the outer shorts on it own, without any kind of liner, boxers or tights. Some people prefer no chafing, to cool down; the breathability and total freedom for movement.
Yep! Exactly! 👊🏼
@@its_Matt_B_ that way it's cheaper too. You can get high quality shorts without the additonal expense of the integrated liner you cut out afterwards. A true waste of money and not environment friendly. Why do some brands assume everyone wants restricting liners for "support" - rather "for no comfort" lol - some guys don't care, they just rock the unlined shorts. Path Projects nailed it.
BTW did you try them that way? do they chafe if you don't wear anything underneath?
@@hrrrrrrr2084 I haven’t tried them without a base layer. I’m sure they’d be ok for short runs but I’d definitely want a base layer for anything more than a few miles.
@@its_Matt_B_ Because of the chafing? are the seams a but rough?
@@hrrrrrrr2084 No noticeably. But after a few miles, especially in the summer when they'll be wet with sweat, all bets are off. I wouldn't want to risk it.
These sound cool Do these shorts run large or small? I am 5' 7" with e 34 inch waist. The picture on the website is a 5' 10" person with 31-33" waist.
They seem to run about right. I have a 34" waist and ordered large shorts with a medium base layer (I wanted the base layer to be a little lighter). I'm very happy with how they fit.
👍
Cheers for watching! 👊🏼
Did you run in the torch shorts? 3 in or 5 in liner?
I have the Sykes, Graves, and one other one, but I can’t remember the name. I usually wear a base liner that’s a little shorter than the shorts, so I’ll wear a 5” with 7” shorts.
@@its_Matt_B_ Thanks for the feed back. In your video I believe you ran in 5" shorts. It's funny how you state that people tend to go shorter in size the more they run. You are probably right. I am 6'3" and have always run in slightly longer baggy shorts. I was real clooooose after watching your video on trying 5" maybe later this summer lol. I ordered the nathan 7" essential shorts and will give them a try. For 55 dollars it is a good first step I suppose. There is absolutely nothing on youtube about there shorts or online for that matter so I will see how they feel. I will for sure get a set of path project liners and shorts just have to think if I want 7" shell or 5" shell.... It's funny I have always felt that say 40 dollars should be a good for a quality pair of shorts (i don't buy them often... I mean wash rinse repeat you know?) but now they are in the 70 and up range for PP shorts it makes me nervous... I mean they are shorts right lol. But they look super comfy! So I'll dive in I suppose.... Take care and look forward to watching more of your vids.... you have a new subscriber.
@@tommytfaa cheers, Tommy! Yeah, the whole price acceptance thing is real, at least for me. It still seems crazy that we pay so much for some stuff, and I worry that means I’m getting old, so I won’t complain to much! 🤣
I didn’t even know about the Nathan shorts until you brought it up, so I have to think they’re fairly new.
Oh, I have two 5” PP shorts and one 7” pair.
I have a problem in that my legs are very muscular, probably from years of bicycle commuting and running up hills and mountains around here. My upper leg muscles on the inside slap each other as I run. Unless I wear 9 inch compression shorts, I cannot run more than 1/2 mile maximum before the skin is red and irritated. I must be the only seventy something whose muscles are large enough to cause problems. My thigh circumference is about 22 1/2 inches which is a lot for a skinny guy.
Man.. sounds like a good problem to have- Jealous lol!
@@jsherzog I estimate the total of biking plus running in my life is around 120,000 miles (including exerbike workouts and commuting). I used to commute by bicycling and now commute by running using an exerbike to keep the leg muscles balanced (quads/hamstrings). Currently running at 150+ miles per month, with about 1/3 of that on steep hills.
It's good to hear you've found that 9" compression shorts work so well for you, but you'll get no sympathy for being too muscular to wear normal running shorts!🤣
Most older people have the problem of muscle wasting. I am the opposite! Thanks to running and bicycling! I think the old adage “use it or lose it” applies here.
@@dougcsmith You’re right about use it or lose it, and once again you’re a great example for all of us! 👍🏼
Anyway, strangely I cant seem to access their website.
🤔 I’m not sure why not. I just checked again and pathprojects.com is working for me. Check back in a bit!
First again. I rock!!!
🥳 You do rock 🤟 Way to stay on the grind! 😆
